Okinawa
Men sent out to danger
The worst was upon their way
One by one they went
This was in May
In the past of 1945
Men opposing their life
That battle changed the world
The ground sharp as a knife
The battle of Okinawa
Heavy artillery and shooting
It was at their fingertips
The time needed for saluting
Lots of soldiers needed
Sacrifices for their loved ones
Losing men left and right
Hearts lost of young sons
The destruction was horrible
Setting up more at camp
Many have survived the battle
Letters sent out with a stamp
Soon to return home
Soldiers near their limits
This war was for greatness
Families ringing with limited minutes
Men thanked for their service
Soldiers on a path with no fun
Passing away with great honor
The achievement has been done

Hello, poetry editor, I used this poem to resemble the battle of "Okinawa" because the battle was a very important event in our history. Also, I like to learn about war because it interests me in many ways. I am currently a high school senior I am begining poetry in my creative writing class. "Okinawa" is my favorite poem I have written because I am able to express things I enjoy learning.
