Zoe-Blog Post #4 -Extinguished


 Extinguished
Bent over like trees in a storm,

Shoulders sagging,

Sad eyed angels,
Night was falling rapidly.

Blessed be God’s name,
Children cried for water,
Sweat rolled down my back,
I had no more strength.

Blessed be God’s name,
Wind lashed us like a whip,
We saw a black gallows,
I felt a great void opening.

Blessed be God’s name,
A small red flame,
Covered with snow,
An even darker night.

-Zoe Benitez

    Zoe,

    The poem is very visual and I enjoyed that. The passages you chose weren’t as sad as the others but gave a message of slight hope. It was really good.
