Someone is knocking
Blows continued to rain on
Only the first really hurt
Someone had let out a terrible scream, a death rattle
It came from a faceless shape
Only a matter of hours
Wallowing in despair
Nothing left in the sky except extinction
Tortured day and night
Never saw a single victum weep
Running out of time to expel us
Own father's body in the furnace
To be extinguished one day
I began to laugh I was happy
We lived for eachother, body and soul
But I knew I must not

Your poem is very strong. I enjoyed how it all flowed really smoothly. I like when you said "Only the first really hurt". That stuck out to me, because it show that they were beaten on a daily bases. strong poem nice.
ReplyDeleteAva,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your poem it really made everything feel so real. I could just picture it all happening in my head. The lines you chose really fit your overarching theme of the poem. Great job!

Ava,
ReplyDeleteYour found poem was true and well written. You explained what happened to those people how did not do their job or who messed in affairs that were none of their concern. I like how you placed the quotes in such a order that it makes the reader really feel the evil and despair in this poem. Great Job!
