Machine guns. 
Killed hundreds of people every minute.
A “S” like structure, and muzzle like a eye.
When you see a small round eye seeking from trenches,
You’re dead.
Tanks.
Comes to our side very slowly like a turtle.
Their metallic body is a shell of a turtle.
When you know that you couldn’t destroy the shell of the tank,
You’re dead
Poison Gas. 
The weapon that were used mostly during World War 1 .
Tear gas, Mustard gas, Chlorine…
When you smell of that invisible gas,
You’re dead
Artillery guns.
Fire, Explode, then Kills.
Targeted people resting inside the trenches .
When you see a round object falling towards you,
You’re dead.
Aircrafts
An eagle eye that you have to watch for it.
Shoots cannons, and bombs to the crowd of people.
When you hear a bomb exploding,
You’re dead
This is World War 1
Can you survive?

This was a really good poem, Yuseke. I thought the repition in this peice really connected the ideas of your poem. I also thought the last sentance was really powerful. It got me thinking about war in more depth. I think you could work on using more peotic devices to make your piece stronger. Great job!
Very nice job with repetition and personification. The repetition of the words "You're Dead" through out the poem add emphasis to the last line of "Can You Survive?" really works well. Good job finding relevant photos too. Try to work a bit more on the grammar though. Other than that, AWESOME!!!
Well done! This was one of the nicest poem I've read in this year. Your photos were very effective and well match to your poem. Also all the weapons you talked about were very descriptive. Especaily I liked the part where you discribed the gun as a 's' like structure. I also liked your repetition, the 'you're dead' part it was very effective. On the last stanza, you wrote 'This is World War 1, can you survive?' This last stanza contains lots of feelings and it was affective. It was easy for me to read and understand your poem about how did weapon involved in during world war 1. GOOD JOB!
