What you think?
Hurricane
Mom doing something to my older sister’s hair Lil sister sprawled out, sleeping, leaving no room to share Me, laughing about if we would see a dog fly by the window Heard the tapping against the window constantly We saw outside from the news on TV Saw the water coming down the walls But we were ignorant to what we were in store for Lil sister woke-up from all the noise we were creating While me and my older sister were checking the halls Gasping as we saw all of them leaking Then suddenly water sprung down from the ceiling Less than 1-2-3, to me The whole ceiling came crashing down Pulled my lil sister away But my mom was too late

You probably need to put more detail in the introduction and create more of an ending. The middle part is fine. The introduction doesn't create a clear enough idea of what is happening and the phrase "Mom doing something to my older sister’s hair", might help to create the atmosphere of calm before the storm, but using the word something is a bad choice. Be more specific about what she's doing, as being vague at this point constitutes bad storytelling. The ending doesn't tie very much up. So your mum's died, then what happened? The storm magically disappeared? It'd be better if you could describe the scene a bit more by saying what the surroundings looked like during this last image of you holding her while she dies. Imaging you're the movie director who's directing the camera crew and actors as to how this death scene should look, maybe? Then how would you describe it, so that people could picture that image? |
