Anzac War - Visitor's Poem

by Dannielle
(Gladstone, QLD, Australia)

The sky was as dark as a shadow,
no sunlight bursting through
the clouds
all the soldiers were standing
straight in a row.
They stand like young trees
swaying in the winds, but their
faces show fear like a frightened
deer chased by a wolf.
Their Captain showed bravery
and proudness
all the soldiers follow
their own orders...
to survive.

On the battle field, is wide and open,
bushes rustle against the wind
guns are loaded,
ready to battle...
All the soldiers run!
They run for cover...
guns shouting,
people yelling
you would hear the bullets
hitting the ground...
The Captain yells "we can win this"
but in the end...
everyone's a hero.
