Hi…!

So poems are very new to me. I have this poem that isn’t sitting right with me word wise. It doesn’t sound like a poem to me. Now I know nothing about poems, so any advice you could give would be oh so helpful.

Thank you for your time.

The Scar

A lush forest is blemished by this coulee

A imprudent child is at the bottom of it

That child cowering in the coulee

Too petrified to call for aid

Like a worried mother, You came

You knew the dangers, yet You still came

Scarred hands pulled that frightened child close

Those same hands carried that child out

And those hands took the pain, the death, and the sin
