Death in Singsong

I stood before the body and my legs began to shake
I couldn't find a single word or sound that I could make
So beautiful and innocent; she was only five
I barely even knew the girl when she was still alive.

"So it's come to this
a girl in a garden
a hardening heart
and a Winter's kiss
Salt in her bones
and the faltering
song of a mother's voice
resounding on stone
It's a thin tune
thin as new ice
and twice as cold
She curses the moon

ach gotta go ..."

"I like it! By singsong I meant exactly whatever you imagine singsong to be. (even if it makes you frilly)"

"Haha I hope this is good? I assumed that when you said singsong you actually meant singsong...and if anyone is curious I based it off the tune from Dance Dance, in Lord of the Dance haha. If that makes me sound frilly well, I guess I'm a frilly frilly man."

"Feeling a bit creative today, and loving this singsong, Rac7hel! So here is another crack at it! Maybe it is degenerating into a limerick after all :)"

"Neat idea! I may have to give it a shot later, but I may degenerate into a limerick.. :p"

"I've been wanting to try this out, so I hope some of you people will join me.

I ask only that you write in "singsong"... It doesn't have to rhyme, although rhyming is good.

And you certainly don't have to stick with the same poem structure that I did. Do crazy things. Be creative."
