One Word Base Poem

Poetry Contest

(Example-) (Base Word: Scar)

I fell

I didn't care

But it was a scare

Cuz' I got a scar

It was the shape of a star

I remember the siren of a car

Then it went black

I remember the impact that made that crack,

That scar

I remember that red and white car, that took me far

They stitched the cut shut

Dad took me to a healing hut

Mom brought my mutt, Chestnutt

But, there remained a mark

A scar, quite dark

The Scar

(By Tista S.)
