Kiera Coffey (12 year old) Poems

A true story about the De Feo murders at 112 Ocean Avenue in America, when the eldest son in a family, Butch (presumed to have a mental condition) shoots all the members of his family in a late night killing spree. He started with his parents, then his two sisters, finally his two brothers. He was later found to have no mental condition whatsoever and was just a cold-blooded murderer.

The sound of his father’s shouting,
...

It was just a pebble that caused me to trip,
And then I was falling, falling from the ship.
Next came the ocean, murky and blue,
The waves rode over me- there was nothing I could do.
...

He who loses,
He who wins,
He who rights,
And he who sins.
...

No more moon,
For 100 years.
No more light,
'til 1000 tears.
...
