SHARP BENDS

Inspiration for this came after reading a sad article about an accident from my area where 3 out of 4 young people in a car got killed.

sharp bends come fast

Slow the car,  apply the brake;

five minutes of fun isn't 

worth the mistake.

Sharp bends come fast;

your fun won't last -

headlights are starting to show!

PLEASE..SLOW..YOU'RE GOING T-

I completely agree with the deeply inherited message of this poem, this so tragic and heartbreaking to see these young people accepting death because of some nonsense fun... Nowadays people have almost forgotten that there is a function called 'brake' in the car... Even after such tragedies no one seems to learn...
A very true concept Helen and you did a brilliant job to express it through your poem...

Thank you Dhiman, it is awful isn't it. That typical thought of "it won't happen to me" i suppose..but it does :(

those flowers and crosses are always at places
where the road isn't very straight.
this is almost like a passenger's begging

You're correct, it was from passengers point of view :) thank you so much for reading, very much appreciated

Oh, that is sad. But I like it...although "break" should be "brake", but otherwise...nicely done!

[hcarson]

Hard hitting words, effective use of enjambment to effect the pace that the poem is read. Good work :)
