Scared the living daylights out of me, Maria. What a wonderful little poet you are. Sleep well, my lovely. Love, Fran xx
AAGGGHHH! ! What a shocker! Right up until the last few lines, I was thinking...oh...what a nice children's poem. Not! It has great shock value though.
I'm with Vincey on this one. Full respect to Maria. I'm giving her 10. Gina.

Good poem, very shocking ending---Melvina
