Favorite Quote:
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.


History
Skies roar, grounds shake,
Loud enough for everyone to wake.
Unfortunate people who are here,
A devastating power, incredibly sheer.
It wiped all civilization away,
It took all lives in less than a day.
And yet, this place is well known today,
A historic place that we call Pompeii.


The author's comments:

I thought this event was both terrible, yet almost peaceful.

I wanted to show others how a poem could show both terror and peace.
