The Life of a Poet discussion

Sorry about not being on in a while. But this contest will start and end some time in the next 2 weeks. Or until they unblock goodreads at my school. I want to hear your poetry. This is a free for all topic. Anything you want. Anything at all. It's been a few months. Let's get this up and started again.

**Little Girl**
Little Girl.
She carries a
Black Balloon.
It stands out
From the other children’s balloons.
One boy has
Red.
Another, Blue.
Purple balloons
Also bob up and
Down in the
Cloudless Blue Sky.
But this
Little Girl
Likes her
Black Balloon.
It soars above her head
As she walks down the
Winding sidewalks.
Gusty winds blow the
Balloon and
Little Girl holds on Tighter.
Terror
Grips her Heart as
The string to her Lovely,
Black Balloon is Torn
From her grasp.
Running.
Falling.
Chasing.
Little Girl follows her Balloon.
Reaching up high into the
Sky
To try and reach its string,
But she cannot.
Finally it leads her to a
Murky area with Dark alleys and
Scraggy trees reaching their
Barren limbs into the now dark sky for
Help.
Black Balloon
Gets caught on the top branch of the
Tallest tree.
Little Girl must follow her Balloon
And starts to go to the
Tree.
But as she passes an alley,
She hears voices.
Little girl casts her eyes down
Toward two men ARGUING
Down the alley.
They are fighting and she is
Scared because she
Is
Just
a
Little
Girl
Who wants
Her Balloon.
Now the men are SCREAMING at one another.
Something about
Power.
Something about
Drugs.
Some things that this
Little Girl
Just doesn’t
Understand.
Then one man sees
The Little Girl.
SHOUTS at the other man
About
The Little Girl.
She tries to run Away.
Tries to
Escape and
Float high in the sky
Like
Her
Black Balloon,
But Little Girl doesn’t know
People
Cannot
Fly.
Man reaches into his jacket and
Pulls something
Out.
It is too dark now for
Little Girl to see.
She is just
Trying to get to her Balloon
High up in that
Tree.
One last Step toward her
Tree that
Little Girl
Takes.
One last breath the
Little Girl
Takes.
Before
The Drop of Metal
Pierces her
Heart.
Soaring.
Up.
High.
Little Girl
Floats Higher
Than her
LITTLE
Balloon
Ever
Could.

The winner this month is Jen!!!!!!
