Terror

An airplane hum heard in the distance Slows as it draws nearer our town As bombs fall, terror fills hearts Many run to safety Bomb shelters fill fast People in shock Most don't know What to Do Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Contest: Imagination Written by: Sara Kendrick Date written: June 8, 2012

A scary write dear poet ! Our country takes life for granted Sara ! What would we do, if we had this fear daily ? I remember when I was a kid, and the schools had drills to file in the basements for BOMB shelter ! Lordy ! Have a wonderful weekend my friend....much love, james

Wow, this is terror! I would hate to be in this situation! I hope and pray that the US would never be at war where there is terror on the mainland! I really enjoyed this incredible piece of art! You did awesome with this poem! Great Work!!

Very different from mine. I guess that is why Nette chose that photo. Good job, and good luck in the contest.
