Online poetry


How would Rose be feeling as she faced the group of ghost-like, starving men, women and children? Write a short verse of poetry based on your initial responses to the harrowing image. For example:

Trapped behind a threatening cage of wire,
Innocent souls drapped in the same colourless rags,
Shaven heads with identity stripped from them,
Gloomy blurry eyes staring into thin air,
Sympathy, sorrow and sadness writ large.

  1. rose would flee angry because she don't know what is happening because the army look after there live. A say why do they have boll head sharp close like they are in prison

  2. Upsetting faces pierced on Rose,
    Torn deteriorating clothes, uniform for the kidnapped,
    Shaven heads leaving an unanswered identity.
    Rejected humans dismayed with humanity,
    Compassionate, Separated, Souls.

  3. Scampering around the floor in-search for food,
    Trapped in their own mind,
    Consumed by fear
    Motionless faces filled with devastation and cries of despair,
    Hungry, miserable, depressed

  4. Abandon souls, lonely broken hearts.
    Pale faces staring at me.
    Terrified I felt a tear run down my cheek.
    Distraught children hunched up in the corner.
    Scared, Sympathy, Sorrow………

  5. The Troubled Souls

    Insipid black and blue uniform decaying in the daylight with the ghastly yellow Star of David,
    Pail, indistinct children stand staring at Rose with spooky brown eyes,
    Every single blameless child (for no reason) had there hair shaven off their heads,
    Derelict innocent souls pleading for sympathy behind the big barbed wire fence,
    Terrified, anxious, puzzled…

  6. Unidentified to who did this, barbarically kept children starve in a cage
    individuality stolen, the poor souls call over the spiked grey fence, spirals around the perimeter.
    Ghostly eyes, stare into the clearing of the dreary forest.
    abandoned, crepuscular, disappointing.

    Hanging around in their identical groups, wishing they where some where else.
    Puddles drenching their frost-bitten feet.
    Ding construction loom over them, rusting in the rain.
    One of the in the corner bearing in mind if she should live or die.
    anxious, worried, separated.

  7. Lost children

    Isolated souls waiting to be found,
    Pastel faces staring at vulnerable land.
    Thin empty bodies scrawny like a feather,
    Shaven heads, leave them with no individuality.
    Shocked, sorry, sad.

    Behind spiky-wire, no way obtainable,
    Shabby St. David’s star positions out from the dull
    black and white costumes.
    Lives shattered like the windows ahead them.
    Despairing for food, have not been fed in beings.
    Unhappy, appalled, heartbroken.

  8. Taken out of there home
    as you see them you see there bones' the sight is sad
    has Hitler gone mad
    when I look at them I feel sorry
    I always say don't worry
    I will make it be
    disturbed, sad and horrific

  9. Behind your shadow,
    I stand and fall.
    It’s a tough battle,
    In which I feel so small.
    My feelings toward you,
    you might think are dumb.
    Sad upset confused,
    angry hurt and numb

  10. I don't know how Hitler can be alright with this
    When they were locked up my heart STOP beating
    The pain Hitler made me feel
    I stood in my spot with tears in my eyes running


    How would you feel if you was one of them ???

  11. Death, death, death followed her
    Melting snow taking time
    Soldiers in the distance
    Please go away!
    Trees warned her
    This is not where you should stay
    Is this how it should be ?
    A lifeless forest
    A stump that can't grow because of what surrounds it
    I wonder what more I could face
    Could I face such a terrible place?

  12. The pale face of children crying, waiting for help, their eyes watered, they reached out to her asking for food, until that was the end of Rose.

  13. Isolated children run by fear
    lost souls trying to escape from a pit of darkness
    exhaustion and dehydration is expected or most likely bereavement in the tragic
    sadly little kids die afraid

  14. Scrawny, innocent children standing side by side,
    Pale, thin, faces glaring forward at the forest that stands before them.
    Tearful eyes stare at Rose, making her feel uncomfortable. Their bodies pleading for rest, hoping for love.
    Sympathy, Sadness, Sorrow.

  15. Children's Misery!
    Scared soldiers, disgusted by Hitler
    Children with shaved heads staring at me
    Tree stumps, no longer
    Watching all the children, they have nothing to eat
