This is a story
I have never told;
There was a little girl,
She was eight years old;
Alone in the backyard,
Acting a play or so;
Unaware of the stalker,
Hiding in plain clothes.
And he came;
And she smiled;
And he asked-
“Can I help you find?”
Innocent,
And naive-
She replied,
“I need broken shards”
And the next,
Thing she knew-
He had forced her
To the grove;
And his tongue
Down her throat,
The little girl helpless
On her own.
But her Lord-
Oh, he never fails;
Sent her sister
to her aid;
Sister came-
Stalker was gone;
Sister never knew-
What happened along.
Little girl,
felt relieved;
Didn’t understand
What stalker did.
But the lady,
Little girl grew into-
Distraught by memories of,
The boy in the grove.

You chose a good style for the theme of this piece. Short, simple sentences that reinforce the child’s point-of-view, but sharp and direct to reflect the way an adult would tell and remember. It is almost stark which echoes the bleakness. Well done in telling such a difficult story!

Thanks LL :). And you know, your analysis is on-point! I really do like poetry in the form of stories, though I’m not sure if it is actually a real poetic style.
