The Abused and Depressed Daughter

Composition of 2 Genres Poem

A Poem by Summer Prassor
Whose daughter is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch her frown. I cry hello.
She gives her daughter a shake,
And sobs until the tears make.
The only other sound’s the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.
The daughter is abused, depressed and deep,
But she has promises to keep,
Until then she shall not sleep.
She lies in bed with ducts that weep.
She rises from her bitter bed,
With thoughts of sadness in her head,
She idolizes being dead.
Facing the day with never ending dread.

For my first genre I created a poem because I think that poems are a way to beautifully express anything and people of all ages can read and understand poems. I think that a parent reading this would feel the pain that this mother is feeling for her child and feel how sad and alone the daughter in this poem feels. So, portraying this emotion through a poem would not only cause the parent reading this to not want their child to ever feel this again, but also lead them to show it to others that they know have kids if this poem really inspired them knowing that that other parent would also understand the depth of this poem. Not only parents, but if an educator was to stumble along a poem like this and decided that this poem would be really important for a child to read just to analyze and see how they feel about a child in a position like this. Not only would this poem move that child, but maybe they know of someone going through this but was too scared to tell and after reading that poem they don’t want the victim that they know to feel this pain, so they finally tell someone about what is going on. A poem can easily be shared through social media and messaged around. It can also be printed and be a physical copy which can not only spread the information out more but be kept in the world for more people to get knowledge from it. Much like Edgar Allen Poe’s poems how not only are they online and can be shared through the internet, but there are also physical copies of his poems that can prolong the knowledge of his poetry.
