You did a wonderful job of writing about the horrific
day that we will always remember. Grief was a good emotion for this writing prompt, and your poem was a hit with me.

The perfect description of how grief operates.
but the octopus-like tentacles of grief
have attached themselves to our deepest flesh
and will never bring relief
Well penned free verse. Good luck in the contest

This is a very poignant poem on grief. The picture appropriate and eloquently accompanies your very well written poem. You have very descriptive phrases and your message comes across very poetically.

day's end - add apostrophe for possessive
make a man out the window send - the syntax of that line sounds a bit forced in order to make the rhyme work out
good use of occasional rhyme
vivid descriptive detail
strong emotional appeal
effective image of the tentacles of grief

I commend your remembrance of 9 11
To be in a situation like that is unimaginable.
I tried to feel the emotion that was written in the poem but it didn't quite take me there...I know that writing on a subject such as this can be taboo to some degree especially something that has affected so many.Looking forward to reading some of your other work.

    SkirtCrash: a reviewer is always entitled to his/her opinion but I have a couple of question for you. Have you read this site's guidelines for ratings? When you give a writer a 3 rating it means that there is serious problems with the poem and that it needs a rewrite it is so bad. And, then, you need to list all the problems. The fact the you couldn't feel the emotion tells me that it is a personal problem of yours, not a writing problem of mine. I say that because this poem and many others I have written are always applauded for how well I describe the emotion involved and how it has moved them. However, I thank you for reading and suggest you might want to go to my portfolio and see what else does 'not quite take you there'.

The horror Unimaginable you painted the picture with strong descriptive words .
Your chosen illustration a strong vivid choice to represent your well set out and poignantly sad poem.That such a thing happened mystified the world.

Great picture and a great free verse poem. Deeply shocking of 9/11 scenario as the world watched and grieved glued to the television screen night & day, day & night, crying, crying still!

War whether by one, few, several, or many, is horrible, disastrous, and forever a lasting tragedy for those who survive.

You did a great job expressing yourself. I like the image as it is fitting for your poem. I like the way you say 'octopus-like tentacles.' I would change nothing. Good job and good luck in the contest.
