Potlatch Club Bragi poem

Deaths Tolled Ever On

by dragonpoet

Awful fates formed this day
Terrorists attacked locations
Twin Towers, Pentagon, tried Capitol
But in lush Pennsylvania field death tolled
Grief spouts in all situations
Dust makes air turn gray

Firemen, police and ambulances rolled
Disbelief created relations
In whole country in ways
That forced all hearts to say
Death like this makes sensations
Of courage or unity in all souls

2 6 line stanzas
rhyme scheme abccba cbaabc
syllable count 6 8 10 10 8 6 10 8 6 6 8 10
