Poem

This Sonnet is one I wrote my senior year of High School for my English class. It was sent into a poem contest where it was chosen ans publised in a book called a celibration of poets: South Grades 10-11 Spring 2015.

The Armies of the Revolution

Our red uniforms seen from far away

We fight with pride and with pure fearlessness

We march to war with pride and with no sway

All for the might of his Royal Highness

We fight for liberty and to protect

We see the red and a flash of cold steel

This sends us running only to loose respect

We never return to the battle only yo heal

Our commanders ride with no trace of fear

Our blue uniforms worn and hand created

The British always know we are here

We march singing old songs and wave flags faded

Americans were freed by these armies

Their sacrifices gave us our liberty
