Day 1 Task 2
Day 1Task 2: Write a poem not exceeding 20 lines (minimum 14 lines) which is inspired by the nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep". Either the theme, or the format, or both, should be related to the original rhyme.

We have no black sheep

Sheep in the family

Family mine of five

Five people all of us

Us who live together

Together in Harmony

Harmony was our address

Address in a city

City shaped like Crescent

Crescent City blues

Blue sky turned black

Black as night at four

Four hours for a mile

Mile out of the storm

Storm that killed a thousand

Thousand miles between friends

Friends ripped apart

Apart by Katrina’s rage

Rage drove us out, not apart!
