Comment from N.K. Wagner
Bob, I doubt that any of us who saw those towers come down will forget. We should not be permitted to forget. But outside of NYC we're being encouraged to do so. That puts our people at risk, lulling most into a feeling of false security. Your excellent ABC poem serves as a reminder and a memorial to those who have died, and continue to die, as a result of that day. Well done. :) Nancy

Comment from Fleedleflump
It was truly an astonishing moment. I grew up in a time when the IRA regularly set off bombs in London, and it was many years before I felt safe, or at least numb, travelling in to the capital to work each day. The tube bombings didn't help either!
This piece is perfectly suited to its brevity and very well composed, Bob.

Comment from DALLAS01
This poem is not only vivid and powerful but is structured like a novel..beginning with Restless world which both summarizes the end result, as well as the atmosphere that produced it, and then each line becomes a chapter in the sequence of events with the last line branding it on the pages of our soul.

The last line was pitch perfect, that supposed line of imagery and enlightenment. The personification of the towers as twins, was unique and original. Good luck.

I have respect for for this poem as it does so accurately describe the way it was before our nation was changed forever. God bless all that have lost life due to war and acts of war.

It's so fun to see you on the left aisle on the home page, dear Bob! An a,b,c poem you did indeed. I will never forget 9-11. I lived in LA and was on a one-day trip to Detroit. Had one day's clothing. Took me 8 days to get home, mostly by train. There might be a story there :) I, personally, hate when letters in either an abc poem or in an acrostic force the poem's content and flow. I prefer a sentence with some meter (flow), alliteration, and enjambment...as they say in New York...fugget about it (the capping of letters, etc...). You are a master at words and could take this poem so much further. P.M. me if this is does not make sense or you want me to explain more...Sue

Hi Bob,
This is an excellent ABC poem for the contest. I remember that day, as we all do,it was so horrific and you have so poetically captured that horror. You have used descriptive words to express yourself and the theme is one we will all remember for forever. Well done and good luck in the contest....chey
