Divine Trickery

A Poem by Satoshi IroTzu

Street lamp is glowing over the tree tops

branches dancing on the light wind

forming a lively shadow on the concrete

A grandpa is caring his grandchild in his arms

carefully crossing the road

with her thumb in her mouth she is asleep

just as evening is turning cold, the night is beginning to weep

A fast car picking up more on gas

yet not to be seen

the driver is cooked in own boiling anger

tears are rolling down his cheeks in streams

beer cans and empty vodka bottles on seats

Grandpa`s baby girl restlessly turning in his lap

at the touch of winter, she is freezing

her tiny body pressing tightly against his chest

Grandpa is stunned with surprise of the speeding car

Turning his back in protection to save the gift from God

His eyes holding the rage and

despise, but it is watering at the sight of his angel

curtains to fall, Grandpa`s having his last encore

life given and taken, he is completing this vicious cycle

A stranger behind the wheel

is the setting of the tragedy, carving scars to this family

the driver sees the silhouettes then faces

pumping breaks, rain is falling

the car is dancing sideways, the road is wet and slippery

off it goes into the storm

intervention through the divine trickery

a new dawn for creating future memories in this bond

Critique: (Grandpa is shun with surprise) shun means "take pains to avoid" is that what you want to say? If it is then it is in the wrong tense so it should be "shunned" but shun doesn't sound like the right word so was Grandpa stunned? shocked?
(is setting of the tragedy) is the setting -- identifier word needed
(car is dancing sideways) the car -- identifier word needed
When you single something out you need to give it an identity such as man/car/tree/dog/flower so it is a/the man, a/the car, a/the tree, a/the dog, a/the flower depending on the tense of the sentence. (is setting of the tragedy) it isn't just any old setting it is THE SETTING and (car is dancing sideways) it is not just any car it is THE CAR

Review: I can't believe how fast you are picking up all the language tricks needed to write in the hardest language there is English. There are more rules in writing in English and more words with multiple meaning and spelling than any other and more slang words created every year than any other. So keep up the hard work. I see you have used statement lines very wisely in this poem they grab the readers attention at just the right points. The cinematic imagery is clear in your depiction and reading the reviews of others they like the style so well done my friend. Bravo! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
