Remorse (Acrostic)

by Rusheena   May 22, 2013


Rage caused this senselessness, and all
Excuses are trivial, now.
My heart is pounding out of my chest, spilling
Onto the crime scene in front of me.
Rain washes away the chalk outline, as it
Soaks my blood-stained shirt. No amount of forensic
Evidence will ever clear my conscience...

    This gives me some hope that there are people out there that feel guilty after committing a crime...

    I can't pick out a part that I loved the most because I think everything was described and written so well...the length of this really blew me away because it was short but so much was said...

    I really enjoyed this one Rusheena...great write.

    Wow Rusheena, what can I say. You do really have a way with the formed poetry and the short impacts on the reader.

    I like the idea you took this because if you gave us the incident first we would already be feeling anger and blame toward the murderer. but because you just gave us their view from the start, and the fact that they do have to live with this regret the rest of their life, shows they did not intend this and have already suffered themselves.

    Very unique little idea, I am glad you took this title.

    Woah. This is definitely really cool. The attitude here is maybe this was an accidental killing? Either and accidental homicide or an accident. I can't draw conclusions, because now I have like a million different thoughts about this. Vehicular homicide on accident and the blood on the speaker's shirt is from trying to help? Maybe the speaker lost control and killed someone they loved? You're a mastermind.

    ^^I agree with Hannah on that, definitely. I love that. This wasn't an intentional cold-blooded slaughter. This person truly didn't want this to happen, and that twists your guts.

    LOVE YOU. xxoo
