Sidney Beck Poet Quintain (English)

Remembering 9 - 11

REMEMBERING       9  -  11





People, buildings fell :  ashes  to  ashes, dust  to dust.

Nightmare from hell :  from which we cannot wake.

Righteous might delivers a powerful response as we must.

Remember the three thousand for  their  loss’s sake.
 
Tremble our foes long after Manhattan’s ground stopped its shake.

Carolyn Devonshire September 14, 2011 at 2:10 PM Syd, this day really was a nightmare that seems to repeat over and over again on each aniversary. Very good poem on the tragedy and our response to it. Evidence that the "trembling" continues can be seen at any U.S. airport where people of all ages are thoroughly searched to prevent another attack. We have never felt the sense of comfort again. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so take pride in your achievement. Love, Carolyn
