guided response "the lovely bones" poem

The lovely bones poem
The heartache he caused my parents was unbearable
He took everything from me in a blink of an eye
I was in between heaven and I was already losing sight
He didn’t know how much a father could love his daughter
And I couldn’t believe how my mother would react
In fact I was sure she would have a heart attack.
He chopped me up as if I was meat
Why couldn’t anyone smell me in the heat?
My lovely bones he hid away
I am in heaven now, I hope my parents know I’m safe

  1. Wow, this is pretty powerful which makes sense because the novel is, too.
