This is very powerful with these few words. You have captured the horror of the moment and the normalicy of the day prior to that.

Thanks for the review. I remember how incredibly blue the sky was that morning. I was in my cabin in the woods, no electricity and listening to this tragic news on the little battery radio., judetser

I still remember what I was doing when the towers were hit. I think a lot of people will remember. I love Japanese poetry and I am enjoying your succinct poems. Good job!

Thanks for the review. I will always remember how bright blue the sky was that morning. With the illustration, I wanted it to be just like that day. Something beautiful shaken by horror. Cheers, j

Very good expression of what the world felt watching and afterwards for many year, as the recent 15 year anniversary was celebrated. Your choice of words accurately describes the images that still turn my stomach and wrench the heart. Thank you for using my picture to illustrate your nice work.

Thanks for the review. I was at my cabin in the woods with only a little radio. I thought America was under attack.I always remember how brilliantly blue the sky was that morning. America changed forever on that day, cheers, j

That was very unexpected, based on the beautiful white flowers against a blue sky.
Then again, what happened 15 years ago was just as unexpected. I believe your choice of artwork is very clever.
Your words seem carefully chosen and work very well.
Great work. Good luck!

Thanks for the review. I will always remember how blue the sky wason that day. I was at my cabin in the woods of Vermont and had only my radio. I heard about the first crash and figured it was just a small plane, then I heard the second one and then I got scared. My friend, bless, came to get me because she knew that I was alone. America's way of life changed on that single day. Cheers, j
