Slam Poetry

we have been writing slam poetry for the last couple of days slam poetry it when it comes from your heart.
War
War was a difficult place and time.
For many Men & women
War was a place of horror.
Sadness and depression.
The conditions were horrible.
The men in the trenches so itchy and sticky.
The sites the men saw.
There friends getting shot.
The food they had to eat was pretty bad.
Tack biscuits & billy tea and other things.
Going over the top was very scary.
Sitting in the muck was very disgusting.
Writing letters back home was very sad.
Getting care packages from the people back home was nice
for the soldiers & the women.
The nurse’s almost never getting breaks.
The stretcher bearers being the brave.
Going out into the battlefield with no guns.
Picking up the fallen.  
Sitting in the trenches for hours every day.
The soldiers in the trenches saying hay every day
The soldiers ever wondering if they will ever go home.
And some of them never did.

Lest We Forget.

  1. Kia ora Morgan, I’m Dayton from Paihia School. I really like your poem about war. I like how you explain what happens in a war, for example war is a place of horror. I think the war poem is about World War 1 & 2 because World War 1 & 2 is where millions of soldiers died in the war.
    Anyway I like your poem about war and keep up the good work.
    Yours sincerely
    Dayton.
