"Character Poem"
Rudy
Kleptomaniac, athletic, and strong-hearted
Who loves a girl named Liesel
Who feels proud about his athletic accomplishments
Who needs to see the fall of Hitler
Who shared his stealing with a special blond
Who fears the loss of his loved ones
Who'd like to see his loving father
Who dreams of having Liesel for his own
Who ends up having his wanted kiss



"Red"
Death a black shadow,
pink a warm hue;
red is the sky
not all the time blue.

Small boys, yellow headed,
a stolen green fruit;
Red is the blood,
it stained Nazi boots.

White is a soul,
grey is the snow;
red is the fire
that warms the Jew's toes.
