9/11 Picture Poem

Blurs of colour all round,

listen close but hear no sound,

.

All at once, a stream of white

soars across the sky, blocks all light.

.

And within that one fateful hour,

The bird descends upon that tower.

.

Then all mankind watched as one,

as a single plane blocked out our sun.

.

Victims leapt with a strong desire,

to end not within that fire.

.

But instead end with the concrete rain,

for the fear far outweighed the pain.

.

Blurs of colour all around,

listen close but hear no sound.

.

Only laughter and scampering of feet,

as two small children run off to eat.
