Poetry anthology poem

My poem was about a woman who was living in the 1940s. It showcases her strength and life and how hard it is to smile at that point. It shows her soul and how she feels. This poem was to commemorate women's day on 8 March and it was an opportunity to represent women and their struggles. The stimulus was a woman's picture. She was the grandmother of Ms. Hecker our food tech teacher who lived during World War Two. Her grandmother was a survivor in Germany and managed to hide herself and other people from her neighbourhood from the cruelty of the soldiers. This was inspirational and it gave me a chance to show my skills as a poet. This subject is a sensitive and recurring topic of war and the suffering it brings. It is a world wide problem of oppression and the suffering of women during war.
