Best Poems Written by Katie Boyd

Shattered

I set my glass on the table 
It wobbles as I set it down fast 
In a rush
Sirens is all I here
Everything is muffled
I ran out to the front yard
Glass still wobbling, moving closer to the edge

All in slow motion
All I hear is the thudding of my heart
The glass, frozen, on the edge 
My heart stops 

Crash

I hit the floor
The glass shatters to the smallest of pieces 

I'll never see that glass the same as I once did
