A Bomb Poem by Randy McClave

I heard a loud sound and it caught my attention
It scared both my dog and cat! Was it thunder I thought?
I then looked out my window the children weren't playing
Was the sound I just heard as I pondered, a loud gun shot;
Then outside my window I heard screaming and crying
The sun was disappearing and now there was a calm
I again looked out my window and I saw parents praying
What I had heard earlier, was the exploding of a bomb.
