The Flood

By Paul Detzer
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 8

Broken towers,
Shattered trees,
No more flowers,
Flooded streets.

All this chaos
Mashed in one.
No one’s boss,
It’s no fun.

Nothing good
Comes from this flood.
Misunderstood,
In cold blood.

There’s no sound,
There’s nothing to eat.
We lie around
On the street.
