I wrote my poem. I SAID NOTHING for Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #249.
I Said Nothing
I said nothing.
I was shocked,
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
My mouth was locked.
The wind moaned.
The trees swayed with leaf lorn sighs
The clouds cried
Heavy tears of thundery, sodden rain.
I said nothing.
I couldn’t,
Or wouldn’t.
My mouth was locked.
The whole world rocked,
And I watched the pain.
The gun half cocked,
But I did nothing.
