Nicely done, Mastery. It is an emotional topic for so many, yet you have captured it in this brief, formulated poem. Thanks for sharing this poignant piece. Great illustration to accompany your poem. Makes me wonder which came first, the picture or the poem?

Hi Bob,
An excellent ABC poem and one that reminds us of
the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbour.
I go to NYC 2-3 times a year and still cannot get over
the missing towers. I'll see the memorial in April and
looking forward to seeing it. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much, Ray. I toured them shortlyafter they were completed years ago. Gorgeous structures. What a waste of life and property. Bob
Comment from Belinda
Hi, Bob, this is an unexpected ABC poem... Yes, it was unimaginable and unbelievable indeed. Once when I sat on a doubledecker on a city tour I expressed my fear to the guide as I saw two workers cleaning the windows of these towers. Next time I had the opportunity to go to NY again, I came and see the remains of these towers. So sad to think of the lives and the families...

Comment from juliaSjames
Excellent poem, Bob.
The haiku-like economy of words and concrete imagery enhance the effect of the write.
Although you focus on the twin towers, the revulsion against terrorism that is so evident adds the element of universality which makes a good poem great.
The ABC format is a most effective vehicle for your evocative poem.

Comment from Melspoems
Hi Bob, this is a great ABC poem about that terrible day that really is embedded in everyones minds forever.
I really like the alliteration in the line
"Twins erupt and tumble"
Best of luck to you in the contest.

You have followed the strictures of this form of poetry and have produced a well written poem. Good imagery of."Scene embedded forever".I don't believe anyone will ever forget that horrible day. I wish you luck in the contest

Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
I hate to say this, but an ABC poem is 5 lines. 4 lines using consecutive letters of the alphabet followed by a last line starting with any letter. It is very misleading and should really be called an ABCD poem. I love your subject and the feelings it evokes. Add another line and I will gladly give you a 5~Debbie
