It was two o'clock in the afternoon july 24,1873 in a little town in Oklahoma.
No one had noticed a steady stream of horse riders coming into town.
I was twelve year old when I was hit by an 18 wheeler.
Fracturesd my skull and crushed my left leg and knee.
The stone rolled away.
An empty tomb.
A broken wing.
A broken leg.
I wanted to tell you to never call again.
But to do so would break my heart.

Very strong poem. Even it short it express the heart and core soul. It almost you can feel the person laying there searching for someone to pick him up. -
Merry meet,
Congratulations on winning the Gold. This sure was an interesting way to write a poem. It was really bizarre how some of the poems came together. Congratulations again on your win.

Excellent job, definantly deserved the Gold. Kind of interesting reading.

Cool! It's like you died in the accident and were resurected LOL. It's funny that there were 2 lines about broken bones since this is all different poem. I liked it!

Well, all I can say is...
WOW! If somebody ran over me with an 18-wheeler I'd tell them a thing or two! 
OH my GOODness! 
This poem turned out to be just GREAT AND actually rather inspiring with the mention of the empty tomb and all.
