Found Poems: Based on the article, "The Boys Who Fought Hitler" from Junior Scholastic

Found Poem:
By Clayton Kellum


It was a dark night
Germany was a war
Click-Click, as he pulls the trigger
Turning Jews into scapegoats
Speech after speech, calling them vermin
“Son it is best you forget”
He was only 12
We’re being lied to
So wall to wall
They pasted fliers
“Hitler is a lier”



Found Poem:
By Bruce Borden

“Son it is best you forget what you saw”
That was the law
If one of them was caught
He could be shot
He soon found out
He had no doubt
The game soon ended
It could not be mended
He was 17 years old
He was very bold
Freedom of speech did not exist
There would be no one to resist


Found Poem:
By Gabby Frantz

Safe in the bomb shelter they sit,
Their hearts beating louder than the click-click
Of boots on the street
That help the children beet,
Defend, and keep their country alive
To their relief most people didn’t die. 
They lived on through the pain, the war and grief. 
Now they see their target in the sky
Getting ready to fight with their guns lifted upright
