Poem- life in the trenches

BOOM!

“Duck and cover!” yelled the lieutenant

The sky was a sheet of cotton

Layered with smoke and poison gas

The sounds of war were deafening

Explosions crackling left and right

My heart beating furiously

Screams of excruciating pain

My trench feet becoming unbearable

The rain thundered down and blurred my vision

“Line up!” screamed the lieutenant once more

I was sure my life was over

We headed over the top

Rows of soldiers collapsed to the muddy ground

I knew my time was soon
