Recess Is Over

as the school bell rings children are shrieking with glee recess is over. a sudden rain of bombs leaves the playground deathly silent

Thinking of the thousands of Syrian children that are dead when I read this one...and humanitarian aid was all that could be provided...it angers me to no end!!...I love this poem and the sudden shift at the end...fabulous double word play with "leaves." Spectacular rewording of Catie's work. Both of u are such amazing poets!! Luv, gwendolen
