A Generals War
A free verse from the perspective of a general
By Adrianna Collins
I must be strong
My men are looking to me
To say that this is not wrong
But sometimes I cant see how it couldnt be.
We lived so happily
Then we were hunted
We ran so far
Afraid of everyone
A cacophony
Friends dead to the left and right
Eyes barely open
Bombs Away
A concrete poem from the perspective of a pilot/bomber

By Lin Rowell
This poem is about the events during the war being recorded and put in books and
newspapers. The meaning of this poem is how soldiers who fought during the war
14
can read about what happened in the newspaper or books to better understand what
was going on. Although, some soldiers are shocked by what they read.

Ill jot down for another sailor that buds are beginning to show-
Come back.
Everything I
This poem is about a person writing to their loved one overseas. They talk about
the spring and everything to see back home, but they fear that this person will not
receive the letter, and it will be returned to the sender.
This poem used a lot of imagery describing the spring back home to the soldier.
There is also a simple rhyme scheme.

what sadness!
Thousands of people,
tens of thousands:
This poem is pretty literally for the fact that its describing what happened before
and after the bomb landed on Hiroshima.
The literary element in this poem is imagery. You can see this in the line Amid
rubble ravaged by flames when the poem is describing this, you can see the
rubble burning.

The Watcher
By Ridgely Torrence
Analysis by Emma Smith
The summary is that war is always watching, and the world is constantly,
especially at this time, growing darker. The meaning is a darker world where war is
victorious.
Literary elements are rhyme scheme ABAB for every stanza sight/night,
being/seeing. Its also personification because the war is watching. Theres also
imagery with the description of everything, like beforepale/allflowers.
