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

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.
