The students in 4M were inspired to write poetry after reading and discussing the story of Sadako

Sadako in her bed with her best friend by her side. by Laura

The story of Sadako reminds me....

Of losing people who were nice to me,

That there were children dying across the sea,

Under their parents eyes which see,

Their children going to be free,

Into the heavens above they flee.

by Caitlin

Sadako's mother visiting her in hospital. by Meghan

The story of Sadako reminds me....

Of bombs dropping out of the sky

And then people die

As they slowly fade away and die then fly up into the sky very high

When their parents think about them they might give a cry or even sigh.

by Alastair

Sadako's brother hung all the cranes Sadako folded in her hospital room. by Nic

The story of Sadako reminds me....

atom bombs are bad

they make people sad

and people die

and they go up into the sky

choosing war is mad

by Tom

Sadako told her best friend she was going to die. by Caitlin

The story of Sadako reminds me....

The atomic bomb flew through the sky

The children were dying

Their spirits were flying

Hearts were crying as they were dying

The doctors were trying.

by Prudence

The story of Sadako reminds me....

that children in the world are still dying

say ban the bomb throughout the world

and tell the doctors to keep trying

tell any sad parents to stop crying

tell them their children's spirits are flying
