Comment from Donya Quijote
Very interestingly structured free verse poem. Very emotive in description and in illustration. Effective in conjuring up repressed memories of a day, a tragic day --the images still vivid and stirring. Good luck in the contest...

Comment from Charlene0513
A truly horrific time in our lives and possible the beginning of another 3rd WW to come. Everything banished to rubble and shock and dismay are only the beginning to a tedious struggle to rebuild and claim again of what once was.
Excellent simile-but the octopus-like tentacles of grief

Comment from Acquired Taste
It is impossible to say: great poem,I liked it a lot when revisiting this horrific time in our lives. It is written with a 'gut-shot' feeling and continues to evoke such difficult memories for most of us.
The gray background simply reminds me of the clouds of smoke from that day. You've captured - well, recaptured that scene vividly in this work.

Comment from Drew Delaney
Wow! This is a great free verse poem about 9/11. It certainly is a day we will never forget. Never will care to have another day like that. The sorrow and pain of it all and then to hear about who did it. Terrorists are everywhere. God help us!

Drew: thanks for reading. Imagine, like in so many countries, having this death and destruction happening every day; on and on and on and on . . . livelylinda

I wasn't there on that cold September day, but I was in America. I didn't know anyone personal, but they were my brothers and sisters, fellow Americans. It wasn't my house but my home in the USA. Prayers still.

Comment from words
I especially liked the closing stanza of your poem.
Grief does seem to "attach itself" to us with tentacles.
I can not look at any photos from that time without being filled with sadness.

Comment from skye
Very strong first stanza, reminding us of the tragedies of the 9/11 horrors.
Your art choice adds to the grief and sadness inside your poem.
Free verse poetry lets the writer expound without barriers of rhyme, and you created a memorable poem.
Well done.

Yeah, this day will forever be etched in our minds and it's definitely not something I ever want to relive. You did a great job with this

I enjoyed your post. You are so right. There are images that are burned into our brains. My wife was in the air that day and for, three painful hours, I had no idea where she was. Well written and presented. Bill
