Can You Guess Who It Is?

[Gin]

This was also an assignment, but for English, not creative writing. It had to be about a character from To Kill a Mockingbird, as if that character was speaking from the grave. It's the only decent poem I've ever written; poetry isn't exactly my forté.

The reaper came and stole my soul
A year ago tomorrow
The incident was quite belated
So absent was my sorrow

My life itself was dark and lonesome
Secluded in my eerie dwelling
Excepting, though, the dead of night
Which served as my restless' quelling

Now my body's 'neath a tombstone
While my spirit roves the Earth
This isn't different from my life
Searching for eternal mirth

[Laura]

"The incident was quite belated
So absent was my sorrow"

--interesting, I really liked this. The rhyme didn't seem forced at all and not predictable. Good job

[glow=black,2,300] Gin, I loved it. That first verse was my favorite. Hmmm....is it about Boo Radley? Great job.

Love the change in screen name, by the way. [/glow]
