"Explosions and Accordions"

Explosion
Clamorous lethal
Obliterating killing flashing
Fiery destructive pleasing squeezebox
Shrinking collapsing breathing
Audible harmless
Implosion.



"Rudy Steiner"

Rudy
Determined, athletic, bold
Who loves his best friends Liesel.
Who feels excitement about the war.
Who needs the love and encouragement of Liesel.
Who shares his stubborness with everyone.
Who fears the lose of a loved one
Who'd like to see a kitchen full of food.
Who dreams of being the great Jessie Owens.
Who ends up dead in a devastating bombing.
