As Time Flies ( A Civil War Poem)



As the bombs burst in the air,
no one will care.
There will be many falls,
when there are flying cannon balls.
Death rolls in all directions,
and you will lose your family connections.

As time flies by,
many more die.
Bloody battles rage,
when South slaves are stuck in a cage.
Muskets being fired,
free slaves being hired.

Confusion all around,
allies and friends on the ground.
When a year has flown away,
bodies will decay.
Souls will disappear and soar,
welcome to the Civil War.


Reflection: Since the Civil War was one of the biggest and deadliest wars in U.S. history, I decided to write a poem all about it. The poem simply is telling you how it looked like in the war. As I was writing this I was thinking for a while to come up with a catchy rhyming poem because I always prefer rhymes. When I was finally complete, I was quite proud of myself for actually making it rhyme and easy to understand for viewers like you.
