Poem Commentary

I wanted this one to be a story/poem; this is about me of when I turned 18, of the terrible incident that happened in Kirkwood,Missouri. The day of February 7,2008 Kirkwood's mayor was killed at a city hall meeting. In the poem when I said about what if "she hears of my death" who I meant was my ex who I was dating, her name was Loran. This is truly a sad and yet memorable incident that happened and it will never leave my memories.

In Memories of My 18th Birthday

I had joy of myself turning 18,
I thought nothing bad could happen.
We went out to eat pizza for this celebration of me turning 18,
I still remember that night like it was a bad dream.
I ordered the pizza, tasting the juicy pinapples with the cheese and sauce of the pizza.
Watching Deal or No Deal on the television of the resturaunt,
I heard the sirens scream down the road.
As they charged, my heart became terrified,
I only had fifty cents left from having a soda at school.
I felt frightened when I heard the incident that has happened in city hall.
I used the fifty cents to buy a angel-wing necklace,
holding on to the necklace praying to God I don't die on this day.
As I heard the murderer is on the move towards the resturaunt my heart felt like I was going to die.
I started thinking to myself thinking what will happen if she hears of my death by the announcements at school the next day.
I cant leave her;
I went to the bathroom, calling her that night telling her
"Baby there is a terrible thing thats happening of where I am and if anything happens I want you to know I love you."
I heard her tears as I told her the incident, I told her i will talk to her tomorrow.
We heard the gun shots outside, hearing the citizens say the murderer has been killed.
We went home safe and sound,
and now you know my terrible memory of when I turned 18.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
