Personification Poem

Bombs sounding like pop rock candy as it touches the ground.   

A few seconds to spare.  

Tick, tick tick, exploding all its madness out.

World War II (Homework)

I had alot of family that fought in World War II, there was so many that I couldn't name all of them. All of them are named on the Honour board as you walk into Whakarewarewa Village. The Wikiriwhi brothers Hirone, Matarehua and Te Tuahu are my great grandfathers. Sergeant Hirone Ceylon Wikiriwhi aka Poppy was born in Whakarewarewa, Rotorua in 1911. During World War II Poppy served overseas as an intelligence Sergeant in the Maori Battalion. Poppy's two brothers Matarehua and Te Tuahu also served in the Maori Battalion. Poppy passed away in 1980 or 1982. He is now burried in the Sala Street Cemetry, Rotorua in the Soldier part. :)
