    9/11
    A look, a glance...
    the chill runs deep.
    Al-Qaida man?
    Our troubled sleep!

    A glance, A stare...
    Her child is bleeding.
    Half just watch his
    Mother's pleading.

    A stare, a glint...
    The hatred's deep!
    Are we safe...does
    fox have the sheep?

    A glint, a storm...
    their hands are red.
    Mother just weeps,
    her child is dead!

    A storm, A scar...
    Hight price to pay.
    Our Father weeps
    both night and day.

    A scar so deep...
    We're all maddened!
    Uncle's at war with
    Osama Bin Laden.

    Wow. thank you so much! Actually I was quite emotional at that moment in time. I always wondered if the metaphores were a bit overdone...you know we are our own worst crytics anyway :) Appreciate your comment!

    Thank you very much

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
