Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The following is a poem that a wrote proceeding the tragedy of 9/11. I read the New York Times "Portraits of Grief" daily following the attacks and was very affected by the stories of those lost at The World Trade Center. My reaction to reading these stories inspired the poem. Elegy Layers of steel Layers of death Mangled material and layers of dust. Lifetimes ? thousands ended We read their stories everyday Portraits of grief with our morning coffee I think about their lives, each one A motion picture stopped in the middle of a scene. What was once energy Is now a pile of debris Smiles and souls, hearts and laughter Are silenced forever. The strangers who perished ? now we know them They are in our heart and We are crying for humankind. 11.13.01 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
