This is a horrible story. I hate to think how often this type of lie is used to escape punishment. It must have been difficult to write, having to re-live the event. Well done.

    Yes, it was. Cause I still remember it like it was yesterday. She was just a small little thing. I'm pretty her sister looks exactly like her. I felt she deserved a place. Thank you for reading and offering your thoughts and for the great rating too. I hope you're enjoying your evening!

Wow, Lea. I'm sure through all these years you've heard every, word, phrase and comment on the despicableness of this event. A terrible shame and the shamelessness of those two not taking responsibility for their actioms.

Excellent written poem on an extremely difficult subject matter.

Cheers .
John

Your sixth stanza first line, is not clear, and your message below the poem you have "It hecame ...."
Look them both over.
You have good couplets.
As far as the story, I liked how you shared what happened with others and I am sorry. Congratulations on being Recognized.

A story starting fine and then goes into decline. It is sad what people will do to avoid the truth. Nice rhyming and thanks for the notes. I hope it goes well in the contest. Take care and have a wonderful day.

What a sad story, Lea, about two miscreants who hadn't the decency to own up to this tragic event but instead chose to lie about it. Extra sad in that it was a true story.

I loved the dimeter meter you wrote this in. It gave a steady, pulsing beat to the poem that was very effective.

    Thank you, Jim. I'm glad you like it.It is, and was a sad event. Took me a long time to recover from that. Let's see. I hate to say it, but the smell of death is overpowering and something you can't get rid of right away. Thank you, my friend for your kind review and your awesome comments.You're always inspiring and understanding. I hope you and yours are well and that you're having a good day chat soon!

Yours was a very sad story, that led to the death of a little girl. It made a very good but poignant read. Well done. Thanks for sharing your work. Do have a lovely week ahead.

An excellent read and poem on such a sad story and subject, and to think this cowardly act is actually true-unforgivable, it must have affected all who heard of and knew about the truth, so very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

A very tragic poem that is shocking to read. I have heard of several accidents caused by alcohol, boating, ATV's, motorcycles... This should be classified as murder.

    You're absolutely right it should be. Unfortunately, the father and the friend got away with it. Because the police could not prove the alcohol consumption to the time at atv rolled down the ravine. Her mother found me and asked me to come tell her what really happened, because her husband wouldn't tell her all he would say that the last thing their daughter said was daddy, it hurts. That broke my heart. It was hard to tell her I knew she needed the truth. Thank you so much for writing and reading and offering your kind comments and your great rating. I hope that you had an awesome holiday and that you and yours are well!

Cara Brown, she went down
On the path, they doth haf
hiding lies the secret cries
let her be to set her free

Terror rode the hidden code
girl and man in the land
flip the dream to hear her scream
under it she doth sit

she is down upon her crown
death she came to show shame
lady came to share blame
hide the crime for all time
