In A Frenzy

In A Frenzy

A Poem by Frank F. Atanacio
"

Sadness, Loss, Family Saga

"

The White Winged Angel was in a frenzy,

as the infant was attacked by a dog,

under the night-light,

the dramatic was such a fright,

it was clearly a horrible sight,

blood on the paws,

blood on his claws

blood on the infant’s sheet,

blood on his tiny feet,

God calling,

trying to get the mother’s attention before it was too late,

life falling,

dog mauling,

and the mother not hearing the divine voice,

she could have avoided this sadness,

she was given a holy choice,

but she was much too busy watching her favorite show,

death was rolling in,

and life on the go,

The White Winged Angel screamed because she did not sense the doom,

as the dog continued killing in the other room,

God now in a frenzy,

the dog mangled,

the child tangled,

and the mother’s memory strangled,

as the child’s life no longer existed,

the dog ran off with fear,

after everything is realized his death would be near.

Very sad and painful write.

she could have avoided this sadness,
she was given a holy choice,
but she was much too busy watching her favorite show,

I think that was the most hurtful line. The mother's failure to listen to her inner voice caused her so much pain and anguish in the end. You seem to write dark poetry mostly. I'd like to read something gleeful.
