I wept and continued to weep 'til end of day what horrors make a man jump out a window to a hundred stories below? body fills with overwhelming sadness, shock buildings drop tic-tock of the clock seems to mock terrorists vile brings no denial stunned by the war-zone site confusion then want to fight few bodies, many pieces searching never ceases rescue personnel trudge amongst death empty and worn but they continue on masks hiding their tears and fears driven by this act of aggression look around silence or tears pictures begin to appear survivors cry out in fear have you seen . . .? the dust settles war-like images of wreckage but one flag still remained one small tree stood alone no surrender! we shake our heads at the thought but the octopus-like tentacles of grief have attached themselves to our deepest flesh and will never bring relief Writing Prompt Pick an emotion and write a poem of any type. Recognized Author Notes Thanks to rokinronda for use of the picture, "Fire in the Sky". Basically free verse with rhyme when it felt right and many terse lines to enhance the scene.
