Heartbeat

By thespin

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Boom...boom...boom...boom. Smoke in the streets. Boom...boom...boom...boom. Listen to the silent heartbeats. Boom...boom...boom...boom. Falling twin towers. Boom...boom...boom...boom. Rescue postponed for hours. Boom...boom...boom...boom. Chaos and destruction everywhere. Boom...boom...boom....boom. Death filling the air. Boom...boom...boom...boom. Heroes and Saints are born. Boom...boom...boom...boom. A nation is reborn.Wrote this after the Sept. 11. Felt I had to say something. The boom...boom. are meant to be heartbeats. I feel the poem is still unfinished. I am not to happy with it. Written November 14th, 2001 © on Nov 13 2001 11:50 PM PST   0 • 12
