Hello, its me again with another poem. But this one's different, it has to be for school! *gasp* So before embarassing myself by reading it in class, I need help! Please, I want complete honesty! (PWM, you would be very useful here wink.gif )
So anyways...

Daddy came home smelling funny tonight
The way he usually does before he gets in a fight
Mommy started crying and ran upstairs
Sobbing something about how nobody cares
I don’t know what’s happening to Dad
And I hate to see my mom so sad
***
I heard a noise and woke up in the night
In my mom’s room there was a light
I peeked through a notch in the door
Just in time to see Mommy hit the floor
It’s the fourth time it’s happened cause Daddy was high
All Mommy can do is just cry and cry
***
Daddy’s been gone for a few days now
But I don’t know to where or why or how
My auntie came over looking all sour
And her and Mommy sat and talked for an hour
Said something about “drunk driving” and “jail”
I’ve never seen Mommy looking so pale
***
This afternoon I came home from school
And I closed the door to shut out the cool
I heard quiet crying coming from upstairs
But it suddenly cut off like a paper tears
Mom hung from the rafters not touching the floor
But at least she’s not crying anymore


So, hopefully its not too horrible... help please! smile.gif

Its a pretty dreadful poem in my eyes, but I'm sure its exactly what your teacher is going to have wanted.

Its a bit sing-song and childrens rhyme-ish to me, not what I find I like in terms of poetry, and the topic isn't one I'd ever want to read about. However I remember having to write similar stuff in school and I hope you get a good grade for it.
