The Dead that SpeaksFourteen Years- a poem by me

It's been a really long time since I posted a thread :nosweat: . But I wanted to post this poem because I think it's really cool and it's the reason why I won Prose Prize in my creative writing class last year. So a little background information for this piece: In class we were working on poetry and our teacher assigned us a project of writing a Tonka but we had to base the tonka off of a picture realating to nature. I'll post the picture it describes also. (It's a Z because as some of you know Bri is only an online name)

The Dead that Speaks Fourteen Years
Dried up rose petals
In the best Z formation
Dead but they tell my story
Only now off-red speaks clear
It speaks my life; fourteen years
