This poem is about a police officer who is working the night shift. The officer spots a crime and chases the suspect up a set of stairs but the suspect pushed him and the other officers down the stairs and shot him. When I found this poem, I originally was searching for crime poems because I thought our examples had to relate to our topic. I believe this was the third link in google, but I decided to keep it as my inspiration because it did help me in writing my poem. The author had 6 stanzas with 4 lines in each. She didn't use any rhyming scheme in her poem, even though the first two stanzas seem to have an ABCC rhyming scheme. She used a bit of repitition with "day" and "another" in the first and last stanzas. The target audience is definitly people with a law enforcement background.
