Virginia's Smokey Black Skies by my 10 year old grandson, Ethan Marshall Virginia lay in ruins With smokey black skies, The battle raged Blue and grey died. The old dominion thought to win all Come civil war the dominion will fall, The blue, they fought to free the slaves Throught the night the battle raged. The blue they fought to make things right The ships unseen in dead of night, The only light in smokey gloom Was flash of muskets, glow of moon. The dominion had fallen The war had passed, The slaves were free And that's the last. Home Poetry Index All Graphics, Design, and Writing copyright © 2001, 2002 Pam Howerton. All Rights Reserved.
