This is an excellent entry for the Naani contest and I wish you much luck in it with this poem. We will all remember that day and pray that we get through Sunday without another heartache. Thank you for sharing. Marilyn

Many thanks for the kind comments.

Your naani captures the essence of that horrible moment when the towers fell.
The image of "flesh and glass colliding" is graphic and provocative.
My daughter was attending NYU at the time and she says what she recalls most is the "shroud of dust" that lingered for days. Very well done in only 4 lines.

Thank you for your sentiments.

You have treated this topic with dignity and quiet remembrance. I think your line, "creating a shroud of dust" is especially effective. The color you have chosen for the background is very appropriate. All requirements for the naani contest seem to have been met. Good luck in the contest.

Nicely done on the naani of the falling of the twin towers, I had a cousin die when those towers fell he worked in the first tower that went down. good luck on this and have a wonderful day.

So sorry for the loss of your cousin. It was a horrific tragedy. I appreciate your kind review. Thank you.

A graphic reminder of this great tragedy. I was a bit fazed by the change in tense between lines one and two. Perhaps 'as two towers fall' and 'the world mourns' might be worth considering for consistency throughout the poem. Just a thought.
