Psalm 46:1
Sep. 12, 2007
Okay... I wrote a poem

Here's my spur-of-the-moment attempt from yesterday. Don't worry... I'll be revising it!

 

On this day six years ago,

Many people died

Just because Islam’s made-up god

Must be satisfied.

 

The Muslim pilots

Did their best

To fulfill their

“god-sent” test.

 

Yet the failed

In one small part

Because of the brave

American heart.

 

In a plane above

A Pennsylvania field

The American spirit

Refused to yield.

 

Rather than give in

To natural dismay,

The people chose to fight

That day.

 

We will never forget

The sacrifices that were made,

The lives that became shattered,

Or the parts our heroes played.

 

Though life is such a precious thing,

It’s a gift that many will give,

Just to hear the simple cry,

“O, that freedom might live!”

 

 

Yeah... definitely doesn't flow. But now ya'll will get to experience the dramatic changes my poems go through! When I repost this, you might not even think it's the same poem! lol... that's the way it goes for me.

I like the poem! I think it could flow a little bit more, but it's still great! I think that maybe you should post the one from last year, too. I liked it better than this one (I think... I can't really remember it).

You did a really good job on your poem. Even if you don't think it sounds right.
