It is a haiku so if you want to change words remember the 5-7-5 syllable pattern. It is about Germany, Hitler and World War II. I am doing this for english extra credit so if you please do your best.
PS please don't copy this I created it NOT you and I would like to keep it that way
The end of World War
Not to be known as the first
Inflicted pain strikes
Dragging onwards till
Adolf Hitler came to reign
Seized upon the Jew
None were permitted
Burned by the Star of David
Pulling forth its’ past
Concentration camps
Gassing children, gassing babes
Smoking furnace blaze
Dug all on your own
Shot down in the air and pushed
Mass graves haunt the sight
Work is liberty
Tanks dug beneath the wounded
Gone for good, for life
Not long forgotten
History should not repeat
Genocidal weep
thank you,
em
Can someone please revise this poem to make sure it clicks?
I liked it a lot.
I do think there could be more use of WWII terminology though. Panzer. Blitzkreig. Patton. Himmler. Goehring. Luftwaffe. i think these might be neat words to tie in and use if you can.
Maybe if you did some research you could put in some of the vivid images and sounds, people and places that could really bring that time into ours.
For example I know the missiles they dropped on Great Britain made a particular sound. Or tanks rumbling. Or the sound of marching.
Also, I believe it is haiku to include some seasonal references. Maybe there could be some in this poem? Is it all wintery? Or does "hope spring eternal" as they say? Or fall when the leaves die?
Good work though. I enjoyed reading your poem. Thanks.
Reply:Very good! You write fabulous poems and I'm sure that NOBODY would dare copy your poem it is something YOU worked hard on and YOU get ALL the credit.
