Korea | Ballad Poem

The Koreas are at war

The people live in fear

The smell of blood everywhere

The Koreans are in tears

Waking up because of roars

Made by the soldiers’ sincere

Anger toward the North Korean heir

Because they took away what is theirs

A soldier falls down to the floor

Because he got hit by a rifle’s rear

The storm of war hurts people like a bear

The war won’t end until everything ends in shreds

I chose the ballad as my favorite poem because it was really hard writing about a sad event with my words, but it was good in the end. I think I felt the best accomplishment because it was the hardest to write. I think my ballad about the Korean War well described the struggles, so I chose ballads.
