Grief
Many emotions as twin towers fell.112 total reviews
Comment from Genya
A true picture of the grief, the shock and the pain on that fateful day. Grief held everyone then and will remain for many. Such a pointless act, terrorism never has a point no matter who or where. A really well crafted poem, telling the true feelings of grief. Very descriptive and visual. Good luck in the competition. Genya

I like the line about the octopus tentacles of grief - they reach far into our psyches and poke (or choke) you when you least expect it. I only hope enough people were awakened by the horror of it to realize what kind of enemy we have to contend with.

You did a wonderful job with this challenge. The flow was very nice. Your arrangement here is very creative.
The theme was good. The artwork complemented your poem.
There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.
I look forward to seeing you again.

The events of that day went well beyond grief and you convey that wonderfully in your well chosen words. This is very well written and meets the contest requirements splendidly. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Many "terse lines to enhance the scene" indeed. But, enhance the scene they do, and none could doubt that the raw emotion, the pain and sense of loss for the lives of our fellow countrymen, in this poem read as genuine, heartfelt and real.
Truly one of the saddest, if not the saddest, days in our nation's relatively short history.
Beautifully written, and very well said.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

The worst choice of all, the fire or the fall. Good images of the rage and fear after the shock ebbs, and the weary
perseverance of the rescuers. Excellent writing.

Comment from HAREEDS
The terrorist attack on the twin towers left a permanent scar in the mind of anybody who saw it. Your somber poem catches the emotions of that day to perfection. Everybody was grief struck that day, nobody who watched the images that day can ever forget it. A very good contest entry, the day in question covered nearly every emotion known to man.

Comment from steevie
You have loads of imagery in your verses that one really has to read your poem more than once to pick up on its full impact. Interestingly, the horror of this terrorist act was monumental for the states and yet some counties experience war on a daily basis of a lessor magnitude, yet ongoing for the better part for many persons life duration. Do we shed tears for those lost in 9-11, of course ... although the USA is only one country of many in the world ... I'm just saying ...
