Upon the green green grass
The yellow sun
So slowly rising
From its blackened bed

The birds happy in their singing
Celebrating spring arriving

The smell around
Of grass thats cut
By the machines of man

Look upon the merry scene
Notice the young body
Sprawled
Laying in the grass
The blood since then has stopped
Now dried upon the wound

Her summer dress is matted
In her very own blood
Pulled up slightly
Past the knee

Her hair flowing
Careless on the ground

Her skin is moist
From being there all night

The knife is gone
Thrown away into the river
To keep the secret silent

Thats a great piece. It starts so innocent and then swings 180 degrees and goes black.

Wonderfully written, very twisted, at least to me, twisted in a good way, it kept me reading.

Very interesting... I like it.
Almost morbid, though.
Well written.
Take care.
