A View Across The Skyline Poem by sylvia spencer

A View Across The Skyline

Rating: 5.0


A view across the skyline where there are buildings
tall and wide, but gone are two of them that stood
side by side.
A view across the skyline the unforgotton grave,
a memory that will last forever in the land of
the brave
A view across the skyline is my tribute to
nine eleven, where many thousand souls
departed into heaven. It's hard to belive what
happened that day, but the view across the skyline
will never fade away.

Dearest Rose, from an American from the Land of The Free and Home of The Brave, thanks come your way for this deeply thoughtful poem. Something died in America over 9/11, and my heart still breaks. Thank you for writing this.

A brave subject to tackle, but I think you have got it right. View Across the Skyline is an excellent title and I know I will always think of those who suffered and perished when I see old pictures with the towers still there. I remember I was on my first holiday in Cornwall having a cream tea at Llansallos when it happened. The farmers wife came out to us and said 'Sorry but you had better come in and look at this.' It was utter shock and fear we felt - at first it seemed like a third world war. For me your poem captures the sadness of it all. Patrick xx
