Lord, I can't make it alone
I am going to see you through, Child.
Don't let my journey end here,
Make me strong.
And God whispers back in the breeze,
Not far now, Child, Not far now.
She rises and moves on.
Your faith has wings,
Fly Harriet
Is this heaven, Lord?
Not Heaven, Harriet, Free Soil.

This is awsome its like the book in short form. It is easy to understand and captures the story of Harriet Tubman just as well as the book. I also I like the quotes you used and I even used some of them myself.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your found poem! It was short, simple, and to the point! It describes the main points of the book! I also like how you put God's words in italics, I wish I would of thought of that!
ReplyDeleteI really love your poem. It is short and gets the point across and is also beautifully written!
ReplyDeleteSarah, this is outstanding. I agree with your classmates. This is a beautifully written poem, and its brevity makes it even more memorable. You distilled the message of the book to a few well-chosen, well-written lines, and you retained the mood of the book. Beautiful job.
