Images Of Fire Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

On August 6,1945, Americans dropped an atomic bomb on
the Japanese City of Hiroshima. Over 250,000 died. Three
days later a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

Flying one mile high
American B-29 bomber Enola Gay
Opens bomb doors over Hiroshima
Pilot Paul Tibbets becomes the king of death.

Bomb
called 'Little Boy'
drops to earth.

Hell has burst asunder engulfing the city
Blinding flash, searing heat wave
Mushroom cloud thousands of feet high
Tongues of flames devouring life.
