City Of Vermilion

City Of Vermilion

A Poem by Farah
"

What war is like.

"
  
The sun is drooping low 
Heavens glow deep red 
Stretching shadows of those left dead 
They've gone but the damage is done  
The streets are stained with sticky blood 
Shining a dull grey 
Everyone is silent 
Holding our breath 
There's no more to say 
Seeing the cold look in those eyes 
And fire ravages my heart 
Hearing the shrill screams of 
Those who've lost all dreams
I look up and 
The sky is streaked with hope 
The future lingers

This was great! :3 The only thing that I would change is just to put a comma between the words breath and no. Only to add more emphasis. Great write!
