Running Through The Battlefield (Acrostic)

by Italian Stallion   May 17, 2006


Running through the battlefield
Until I die
Nothing can stop me
Nothing but a bullet to the eye
In the trench's I run
Noting the expressions of soldiers
Going through hell

The bodies that just lay
Having blood drip from them
Running the images through my head
Obedient ways of thought
Until I go insane
Going through the battlefield
Holding my riffle tight

Twirling bombs falling to the ground
Hoping it won't hit me
Embedded these images

Bonded till I die
At such a moment
The Private in front of me
Torn to pieces by a bomb
Left behind, nothing but torn flesh and bones
Embedded these images
Forever till the day I die
In such a feeling of friendship
Easy for others to talk about
Lord only knows, why I don't
Don't ever want to see those images again, never want to go through such pain again

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title. Pretty straight forward, no rhyme scheme or syllable count.

    Wow! That was great. Smooth. Usually these type of poems are hard to write, and they look listed. Your sentences flowed very smooth.
    Thank you for sharing this with us. Made me want to go write one.

    The fact that the poem had short sentences and moved fast went with the image of a soldier running through a battle field. I really would have liked it if you would have slowed down but with this style of poem I can understand if that was a bit hard to do. It had a, not a good storyline because war is sad, decent story being told in a way that might leave a mark on your readers about reality of war.
