The Devil's DenA Poem by PidgeeSoloMade this for English last year. Excerpts are from the book Night.The Devil's Den The flames, do you see them? (31) Flames, huge flames (32) An infernal heat was rising (33)
Under penalty of death (11) [And] face-to-face with the Angel of Death (34) Children [were] thrown into the flames (32)
Targets for the machine guns (6) Like cattle in the slaughterhouse (31) [They] shot their prisoners (6) [Who were] forced to offer their necks (6)
Could this be just a nightmare? (31)
Victims, injured and in need of help (BA1, 2) [Could not] process the horror in front of them
(LS3) They think I’m mad (7)
Hostile faces, hate-filled stares (12) Faces of hell and death (19) I began to hate them (19)
Look at the fire! Look at the flames! (28) Run! (36)
Unconscious (BA1) Shut down (LS3) [From] genocide or the street beatings (LS2)
Never shall I forget (34) The smell of burning flesh (28)
My soul had been invaded "and devoured- by a black
flame (37) [A] thick smoke that poisoned the air (37) [And] stung the throat (37)
Never shall I forget that night (34) Two steps from the pit (34) The pit and its flames (33)
Why did I not act? (BA6, 6) © 2012 PidgeeSolo |
