Scared Children

by Allison   Nov 16, 2006


Gun shots echoing in the night
Make us children cry in fright
Tears escaping from our eyes
Puddles gather by our sides

Parents wake up then to see
Little ones like you and me
Clinging to our pillows tight
Wishing for a calmer night

    Very good poem. I really don't know what else to say. Just that I wish that this poem was longer. Another 5/5

    I liked this, it was short and straight to the point, but I did think it could have more emotion and imagery in it.

    I liked the rhyme scheme and flow.
