Bombs


The old town is now unrecognizable 

The school built by the hands of each villager 

Has been broken into pieces

Homes that used to be filled by families that hoarded around the tv while eating their dinner

Are now empty

The garden once filled with flowers and vegetables that the children planted and guarded

Are no longer green

The 1 bomb, 1 bomb, 1 bomb

That’s all it took to destroy this old town

The town I once called my home

Hey everyone. Poet and author here. To begin with, my name AM is meant to signify the many mornings I spent on writing my books. In addition, AM is also a name that a friend and I made up for fun when talking about my fictional character crushes (many have been there, am I right?). AM also protects my identity mainly because I can post work without anyone knowing who it is about or why did I write it. In addition, I also post poems on my Instagram account @poemsby_am. I hope you enjoy my poems. Thanks for reading.
