A Book

by michelle   May 7, 2008


A book of love
War and death
Will have you hanging
On every breath

A tale of romance
Destruction and bleakness
Calling on strength
Denying your weakness

A novel of justification
Right and wrong
Of passionate love-making
All night long

A story of adventure
Excitement and danger
Saving your friends
Killing a stanger

A fairytale nightmare
Is all coming true
A death defying adventure
That could change you!

*Based on the novel Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden.

    I like this poem.

    You've structured it really well and the rhythm suits it.

    I also like how it was based off Tomorrow When the War Began, I didn't see it at first (thought you were just talking about the world in general), but after reading that it was, I could see it straight away.

    Good on you!
