Ok so this was for an Enlgish project and we had to write an imagery poem, so I wrote one on the Revolutionary War. I got a 100 on it, so I hope you guys like it!
That Day in the Rain
They were the best of brothers
Until It came
It tore them apart with,
The younger who wore blue
And the older who wore red
Today was the day It would end
The scent of rain was strong
And dark grey clouds filled the sky as they marched
Finally meeting on the battlefield
The brothers fought
Rain was pounding as bayonets clashed and the ringing of gunfire
The taste of dirt and blood was in their mouths
"We are no longer brothers!"
The younger shouted
"We will become independent from you!"
"I won't allow it!"
The older charged at him
Bayonet raised he knocked the musket out of his brother's hands
The younger, now defenseless looked into angry toxic green eyes
The rain wouldn't stop
Hands trembling the musket fell out of the brother's hands
Slowly falling to his knees
He brought a hand up to his face
"Why? Why can't I shoot you?"
The older wept
The younger looked down at his brother with pity
Not sure if his brother was crying or if it was just the rain
"This is what you've always wanted! You seeing me on my knees!"
The older shouted looking up into the sky blue eyes of the younger
"You use to be so great…..", the younger whispered
That was a day neither of the brothers could forget
That day in the rain
