Rabbit in the Rain
A Free Verse Poem About Moving On
I froze,
Staring at you,
Terrified.
You drove,
Speeding onward,
Oblivious.
Couldn't move.
Couldn't process.
Couldn't scream.
Wouldn't look.
Wouldn't slow.
Wouldn't stop.
Then the adrenaline,
I had to run,
Had to save myself.
Then the brakes,
You slammed them on,
Skidded in the rain.
Too much smoke,
Too much damage,
Too much pain.
Couldn't see.
Couldn't talk.
Couldn't feel.
It was too late.
There wasn't enough time.
Or was there?
I could've moved.
You could've seen.
Or could've we?
All because I was a scared rabbit,
And the facade crashed in the rain.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
