Year 6 D-Day Poetry

                     D-Day

Soldiers marching in like a stampede

As the villagers hide

Gas masks on quickly

As the fighter planes glide

Smoke bombs messing up vision

As the soldiers try fighting back

The sirens gone off

“Get in the air raid shelter and shut the latch”

The Blitz has begun

The Nazis charge in

They think they rule the planet

They bombed everything starting with a bin

Hitler believed he won

The British had only begun

“We will not be beaten”

“Everyone grab a gun"

By Lucy

D-Day

Soldiers running in like a stamped

 As the enemy stands ready

Machine guns like elephant trunks

As the Sargent calls “fire fast and steady”

Tanks like charging rhinos running down the beach

As the enemy look angry

Bullets pop holes in the boats

As the soldiers, in their heads, say good bye to their families

Cannons roaring like lions

As people get shot

Gas masks thrown onto faces like a ball

As the soldiers get sweaty and hot

Jeeps charge down the beach

As the soldiers protect the prisoners like a moat

Ships prepare to pounce for Britain

As the soldiers and prisoners get back on the boat

By Finley

D Day!

Waves pouncing onto the golden sand,

As tanks sprint along the Normandy roads,

Boats eating the waves,

As soldiers shoot out loads.

Wind whistling at the soldiers,

As foes anger is fire,

Guns screeching at their owner,

As tough as barbed wire. 

By Charleigh
