Monday Quadrille. Our given word for our 44 word quadrille is "careen". Submitted to dVerse, November 2, 3021
***************
stay home son
don’t take the gun
a mother pleads
be careful, son
with your uniform on
another mother worries
a car careens
gunshots ring out
sirens scream in the night
morning news
another death
a mother cries
another mother
another son
another gun
Bev, this is incredibly sobering and so well done!
ReplyDeleteWow, Bev... you nailed this prompt. This brings that Johnny Cash song to my mind... "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" ~
