9/11

911 poem

I see flames and smoke 
Terrorists thinking it a big joke 
Sounds of eplosions in the air 
Screams and cries are everywhere 
Little children dying 
At home the parents are crying 
Sounds of sirens ring to my ears 
The looks on peoples faces is fear 
People jumping from buildings 
Thinking there going to have a chance to live
Smoke is burning there eyes 
hearing loud cries and sounds of breaking thighs
the smell of corps and the look of it, 
you pray to god you dont have to go throught the pain and fear they went through
people sitting at home watching this tradgity 
watching the deaths of other peoples families 
you think your life is perfect until oneday 
it all goes up in flames

Reese Giroux November 26, 2009 at 9:40 AM good poem although i think the line "you pray to god you dont have to go throught the pain and fear they went through" is kind of out of place.

John Freeman November 22, 2009 at 7:59 AM Bless you for this sincere write about 911. To many these are vivid memories of a personal nature, that will live on in their minds. I was not personally touched by this destruction of innocent lives, but realize the sorrow it must have brought to many lives. Sincerely, Moses

Carolyn Devonshire November 21, 2009 at 3:18 PM The day you describe so vividly is one that will live in our memories forever. What a terrible act of unprovoked violence against innocent civilians this was. You brought the agony of this day back very clearly. Love, Carolyn
