[hometext] => Today in English we were given a topic to write a poem about, that topic was an American Tragedy, and everyone chose 9/11.
[bodytext] => As I woke up on that morning I walked out from my room half awake My mom came rushing to me, a look of fright on her face She told me in exclamation, The WTC Towers have collapsed It was like a knife struck me, I quickly raced to the living room My eyes fell upon the TV They widened in horrified shock Confused I was, just a little It took a while for me to figure out this horrible event The news flashed with vivid headlines The World Trade Center Towers have fallen, I though about all those people, trapped in there I fought back tears welling in my eyes For all those people that perished, I wept for them Families that lost a loved one, Are forever shattered by the loss of family member Our fearless heroes: The firefighters, the policemen & the volunteers They come to the longed rescue of trapped people People run all around, scared & covered in debris The heroes charge into the fallen rubble, Digging & searching for any sign of human life That sad & woeful day of 9/11, It will always be locked in our minds It was an American tragedy [comments] => 2 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 8 [informant] => Crimson_Rose [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )
