Running

No stopping as I ran through the jungle
Boots clapping
Men yelling
Bullets Screaming
The echo of rifle fire rang through the forest like thunder in a mountain valley
The explosions and the sound are like the war is inside me
I run as the world goes quiet
Everything is like a blur as I fall in the hole of sorrow and grief
All I think about is home and silence
I just want to go home

Great poem and very evocative, as Nick already posted. I'm not surprised the teacher was impressed.
