ANZACs by Ayla

The war began
My heart pounded like a drum
Against my chest
I suddenly felt that this
Wasn't the fun I had hoped for
I heard the screams of the soldiers
Before they fell over dead
I was lost in the commotion
I slid forward
SPLASH!
I was in a trench full
Of water
A strong hand grabbed my arm
He was my friend
He saved me from drowning
Suddenly
Every thing went black
Blood poured from me
Poppies flooded
The upturned ground
Where my soul
Now lives

LEST WE FORGET
