Lit. Poems

"Nazi Germany"

Nazis
Uncaring, ruthless
Fighting, abusing, overpowering
Powerful, German, frightened, mistreated
Running, hiding, dying
Innocent, helpless
Jews.

"The Word Shaker"

Liesel Meminger
Forcible, mature, and loving
Who loves to create and consume words
Who feels worried about the Jew in her basement
Who needs to be loved by her family
Who shares her words, her insight, and her nightmares
Who fears having her family taken away
Who'd like to see her deceased loved ones again
Who dreams of her brother dying on a train
Who ends up being tragically yet unintentionally abandoned.
