I wrote this Stargate poem for my English 101 class, and decided to post it. I'll probably have a million of these nifty poems by the end of the semester. Which is really close!!
Jaffa firing
Hot rounds whizzing by
Madness ensues.
Kevlar gives
Force pushes you backwards
Time slows down
As your eyes close.
I hurry to your side,
Praying silently
Hoping you'd live to
See our dream.
Your vest hot to the touch,
I radio, "Colonel's down!"
The color drains from your face
I notice the medics,
Tears and fear stained on their faces.
My mind races my heart,
Two thoroughbreds locked in rhythm.
My mind exclaims
"Take command!"
But my heart screams louder,
"Stay with him."
My weapon's jammed,
I try furiously to clear it
As they carry you away.
