Challenge
Write a rhyming poem using the words purple cow, blood orange, starved rock and angel falls.
war
I narrowed my eyes,looked ahead to see,
people bathed in red-hot agony.
Valiant soldiers howled and roared,
and above,feasting vultures soared.
Civilian land was reduced to rubble,
with hurt animals and a cow bruised purple.
Among starved rocks,animals scurried to find a haven,
as mothers yelled at children to hasten
Blood-orange sun then dipped,
a beat their hearts did skip,
for they knew it’s when the angel falls,
when bloody violence and destruction calls.
Men and kids tried to find a shelter,
and from heat of fear,they did swelter.
So,you ask,how this ends?
with a bloody welter,full of friends.
