Year 9 Poetry inspired by poems read in class

 

Stand Off

At high noon,

I walked out of the saloon,

onto the deserted street

 

I saw him with his hand to his holster,

and as quick as a snake he shot,

again and again

 

Silver bullets pierced my heart.

As my body fell, he laughed,

just stood there and laughed and laughed.
