The Hospital

Desperately I looked around, but there was no one near at all.

The street was quite as dead as this poor lovely little girl.

She wore no information, just a sweater and a skirt

I must take her to the hospital - why did I find her first?!

I carried her body - cold and dead - back home and to my car,

and silently I drove the drive; it wasn't very far.

I carried her inside and wondered "Will they let me go?

Will they ask me questions, and what is there to know?"

firethief "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 ...

ganga "Nice, Redacted! Same kind of "closure" I was thinking of as well!"

Writers_Block "Even if its based on a song from lord of the dance haha?"

Rac7hel "I like it! By singsong I meant exactly whatever you imagine singsong to be. (even if it makes you frilly)"
Just Chatting
Writers_Block "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."

ganga "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 :)"

ganga "My first attempt at a singsong. Whew!"

surreal78 "Neat idea! I may have to give it a shot later, but I may degenerate into a limerick.. :p"

Rac7hel "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.
