Gentle and fast her hands give
Carnations beauty she see inside
With every flower she gives life
Times change, and people are scared
People who often believe what they hear
Her family is take to a new place
Not one you would go to at a fast pace
There she must stay till war is at end
Lucky to be with her family and friends
The honor and trust her family must show
Yet all along it was never gone
She loves America
This is her home
but those who do not see
will soon know
Yes I am Japanese
Japanese-American to be correct
This is who i am
And this i will never forget!

ReplyDeleteI love your poem. I think you did really well in capturing how Sumiko feels about America and moving to the camp.
ReplyDeleteOO, Olivia, very nice poem, you are a regular Edgar Allan Poe.
ReplyDeletei love how you expressed Sumiko's pride for her country in the last few lines. This is awesome.
