Friday Poem of the Week: Veterans Day
Veterans
By Kaycee
C., 3rd Grade, Maple Elementary School
Veterans are
big and strong
They will
march all along
Veterans
fight for our safeness
They fight
for their straightness
They fight
from their heart
For us to
have a good start
We’ll follow
their lead
For us to
succeed
Veterans War
Poem
By Tetiana
M., 5th Grade, Maple Elementary School
Bullets fly
across the battle field,
as mines explode under the feet of unsuspecting men.
Hand
grenades get tossed into the air.
Dirt, rocks and gun powder rise up.
Commands are
flowing through in sound waves
Ears go deaf as shocking sounds appear close.
Beads of
sweat run down their faces.
Vision blurs as little bits of debris sting their eyes.
Screams burst
into the air as one by one, each man falls.
The last enemy dies, victory shouts into the open sky
We have prevailed.Friday, November 2, 2012
