A/N: What's this? A poem? Yes, after well over a year I am delving back into poetry again because I made the mistake of signing up for the Supernatural Poetry Challenge on Tumblr. Won't be doing that again, at least for a long time, because I forgot why I haven't updated my Doctor Who poetry fic in forever. My reason being that I am bad at poetry. Oh well, let's try it. The theme for this month was characters from the show and my prompt was Ellen Harvelle.
Thanks to TuesdayToo, cmr2014 and Dragonsrule18 for the reviews!
Your daughter
Lies beside you.
Hair the colour of gold
And hands the colour of blood.
You wonder about Bill,
If he died the same.
With someone next to him
Or if he was alone.
She shouldn't be lying here,
Jo was supposed to live.
You tried so hard to stop her
But she is too much like her father.
Your daughter
Lies beside you.
Hair the colour of gold
And hands the colour of blood.
You hold her close
As she fades away.
A growl, a breath
And you too are gone.
A/N: To be honest, I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out because, as I said, it's been ages since I last wrote any poetry and this was better than expected. I'm going to keep tabs on the challenge and maybe enter again in the future if I decide that maybe I can do this poetry lark. Or not. Please leave a review if you have a moment. Bye!
