A Dead Stop

A Dead Stop


Screeching
The cold air mixes
And lingers with the smell of burnt rubber

The dove
Walks slowly away
From the road attempting to find cover

If I
Would have kept going
Pushing forward in the rush of my day

I would
Have killed the beauty
That didn’t know enough to fly away

Delicate
Innocent and pure
Are the entities we should all stop for

Today
I came to a halt
Allowing the beauty to soar once more

wow
i liked that one a lot, if only everyone had a heart to stop for animals, we wouldn`t have roadkill and our earth would be that more beautiful .

Nice topic and sentiment, but the way it reads the participle that begins the piece modifies "cold air."
Was that the intention?

Powerful.

Thanks =)

and yes, punctuation and grammar were left out on purpose, i intended a certain beat that i didn't want to inhibit with punctuation, hopefully it works and is understandable =x
thanks you for pointing it out thought =)
