From Beautiful to Bare

Peaceful country. Perfect town.

Tender friends. Loving family.

Beautiful me.

Beautiful life.

 

Peaceful country thrown into dirty wastelands.

Perfect town turned to poor living style.

Friends with neighbors, revolved to friends with laboring

Loving family, moved to misplaced father, and disconnected family.

I just followed and listened as I was made dirty, muddy, and messed up.

I twirled from beautiful to bare.


The author's comments:

We were about to read Ashes in the Snow By: Ruta Sepetys. It is about World War 2 where Lithuanians were taken by the Soviet Union to different places, ending up in Siberia. We researched the authors life and reasoning behind this book. And just after the research, but before reading the book, we were told to read the summary and write a poem about how the main character, Lina might be thinking and feeling during these rough times.
