9/11 by Jake B.

For a few days everything stopped
As the days went on the sky turned grey
Even the ones who didn’t care were shocked
Even the president didn’t know what to say

Finally all the smoke cleared
Revenge was obviously needed
Maybe the end was near
Who ever did this was quite conceded

It is one of those moments
That you remember where you were
Everyone had a comment
Now we needed a cure

For this disaster that occurred
On our own soil

Your poem was superb, I could imagine the horrible scene again. I like your poem is good because it contained good vocabluray words which I liked.Your poem had a rhyme which was very nice and creative. After I read this poem, it made me sad because it remembers back to 2001 9 11, a horrific scene. Your poem is very good and creative because I could imagine the scene clearly. Good Job!

Good poem, Jake. Described 9/11 well, and you transitioned nicely. the third stanza reaches out to alot of people, including myself. Awful rhyme scheme, half the words do not rhyme in the slightest way. Luckily, your account of the event made up for this. Pretty good.
