He left at a quarter to one
That bitter cold fall eve
Screaming lines of rage
On a breathe of whiskey
I reached for him
He pushed me away
I ran after him
He drove off
He left the gun drawer empty
As he drove into the night
Fumbling with his pistol
With words of suicide
What do you think

This poem strikes a cord with me b/c of something from my life before - but anyways, I won't ramble
I really enjoyed how this poem was some what short, but still put across a tragic story full of imagery and wonder behind it. You feel invested in the people featured in the poem, you are left wondering about them - wondering what happened. Which means you are a good story teller as well as poet, which, believe it or not, can be a very big difference, and is all to much what we see. At any rate, this was a very good poem, and look forwards to reading more of your work in the future!!
