My toes are cold
my head is numb
I even have goosebumps all over my bum
My ears are cold
my fingers are gone
I think I’ll be freezing right up until dawn
My back is aching
my shoulders are breaking
my mom is reading
while I am here pleading
I ask, I ask
will you come tuck me in?
but she leaves me alone
so sad, so grim.

This is really engaging writing. A little sad, but line 3 made me giggle. Fab!
Nice piece, well done! :D
haha, thank you and thank you :]
it all comes from real life experiences too,
when my mom didn’t want to come and tuck me in I would write poems like these and she just couldn’t resist ;)
ohhhhhh jennifer.
