Found Poem: One Fine Day

This found poem embodies the theme of the original poem that war creates horrific violence on days that were otherwise ordinary.


Found Poem: One Fine Day

Stretched, broken
Protecting the earth
As far as the eye could see
Yellow fierceness
Promising soon

Hanging, silence, stillness
Unseen frantic men
In crisis below
Enemy
To kill

The thick morning air
An Umbilical rope
Dragging behind

Holding on for dear life
Certain death

Lost his lifeline
Helpless, grim fascination
Spread his arms out wide
Like Jesus on a cross
Then disappeared



This found poem was written based on the original poem "One Fine Day" by Curt Bennett, which can be found on
