The creative writing class I took required we write a poem. I am not a poet. I wrote this after a visit to the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington.

 

The school asked permission to publish it.

 

 

A Moving Experience

 

 

It was raining and cold

Yet they were there

Young men

Proud men

Standing straight and tall

Their gaze unbroken

The pride apparent

A special duty

Special people

I watched in awe

Respectful silence

Honor and duty

To their comrades

I shall return to

The Tomb of Unknowns

 

RETURN HOME
