As I was looking back at some of my emails, I found a wonderful poem written by one of our students. I wanted to sneak in this poem before April ended. Her name is Laura, and I posted one of her poems toward the end of last school year. Rereading some of her poems, this one just hit me (with all of the wars and war-like behavior I've been reading about in the news lately, Laura's poem struck a chord). Laura uses her mPower (an accessible PDA for braille reading and writing), daily and enjoys writing. She is in high school now, and I hope she continues to share her thoughts and insights with us. Enjoy:
AT THE BLOODY FIELD
by Laura D.
As I peer at the bloody field
and see comrades dead
they shout at us
"This is war and war is hell."
I shout back
"war is hell"
but if war is hell
and you cause us hell
we'll return the favor
and so
doing so
we are giving hell to the world.
