THAT NIGHT
The weather was sublime
A summer sun
It seemed like an eternity
Surely it was a dream
Night was falling rapidly
We were on our way
Never shall I forget that night
Never
It must have been midnight
We heard screams
Commotion
My father was nowhere in sight
Where is he?
Do you see those flames?
No one would listen
A corpse gazed back at me
Here he is
I had no more tears
After my father’s death, nothing touched me anymore
A dark flame entered my soul and devoured it
- Title: That Night
- Artist: Firenzied
- Description: I was reading Night by Elie Wiesel in english class. Our teacher had us write a found poem (basically a poem you create using phrases in someone else's work) using Night. This is the found poem I wrote, but I tweaked it some. Hope you enjoy it!

- I composed the poem by myself. Night is a book. I just took phrases from it and make it fit into the theme I wanted to have. I could have written about rainbows and butterflies if I wanted to. Night was about the holocaust, but my poem didn't have to be. (here is a link on found poems: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/5780 )
