Creativity & Fiction
Literary elements (i.e. structure, tone, diction, mood, irony, and figurative language) to craft a narrative and/or poetry.
Still
A mother births a stillborn baby.
The lights flicker and dim
A sign for the suffering
About to begin
Nurses and doctors
Crowd around
As the monitor and I
Make the same sound
Grief enters and raves
Wilted and woven in waves
A basket of sorrows and shore
An offering to the children
We never get to adore
Your life flashes before my eyes
My mind plagued with your phantom cries
Painting a picture
Of a stolen child
My mind and vision spiraled
The image of you
I try to conceive
Of a little girl
I’m now responsible to grieve
The twinkling of laughter and childhood charms
As I hold you still in my arms
