I was in fourth grade at school
The September weather was cool
The leaves were about to sever
That day changed the World forever
The towers were under attack
All the while we were having snack
Kids all in a clump together
That day changed the World forever
Teachers didn’t want to tell us
I had to find out on the bus
No one expected this ever
That day changed the World forever
The September weather was cool
The leaves were about to sever
That day changed the World forever
The towers were under attack
All the while we were having snack
Kids all in a clump together
That day changed the World forever
Teachers didn’t want to tell us
I had to find out on the bus
No one expected this ever
That day changed the World forever

After reading this poem i think about the day that it happened and also remember sitting in fourth grade, and being told the news of the towers. I picture the news on the t.v. the day i got home and remember watching the towers fall again and again on many different channels. This poem used rhyme scheme very well and was able to create a picture in your mind. At the end i felt somewhat sad because i remember the day that was almost six years ago.
After reading this poem it reminded me of that same exact day in 4th grade. My mom came to pick me up from school and told me what had happened. My uncle was working at the trade center that day, and for hours, when the powerlines were dead, my family didn't know if he was alright. Luckly, my aunt called us and said he was fine. My family was so releaved. This poem makes me think of all the other innocent people who were not quiet as fortunate.It's saddening to think that this horrible act of terrorism and hatred could ever occur. This poem sends out a powerful message.
Yo Nicole (or should I say "son"). When I read this poem, I imagined every single word and it perfectly describes my day... except I found out by dad, not on the bus. A lot of us were in the same position when this tragedy happened, so I find it very relatable. You did a great job rhymin'. And like I said before, it's easy for me to imagine because I was in the same position as you on that day. Obviously this poem is very sad and depressing because of the meaning behind it, and plus your words are um, well, sad. So yeah, I'm pretty sad. Definitely not warm and fuzzy! So keep up the fantastic rhymin' and Larry Birkhead's the dad. Yay =)?
hey hey hey :]

I like how this poem speaks the truth of how this terrible event was happining, but the students were unaware of what was happing. I also really like the impact your poem has when you read it. As you read it, images of what you remember doing that day flash threw your mind. Great job!
Nicole,
Wow! This poem was amazing. It made my loook back and I remembered where I was on that day. I think that you are very good are a talented writer. Love ya
