The Berry Tree

Today I died
In front of my house
By the tree with the red berries
A freak accident
Left me
Lying on my back
On the cold cement
My mom ran to me
Stood over me
Her face pale
Her mouth gaping
Tears flooded her eyes
As she swept me up
And flew inside
A smile crept across
My berry juice covered face
Laughter exploded out
Of me, my brother and sister
As my mom set me down
Her scowling face
Melted the laughter
And created storm clouds
That covered the sun
My joke wasn’t funny
Today I died
Tomorrow, I’m grounded
