A time my world changed

Flights in Fifth Grade

By: Derek Lund

The morning dawn arrived early,

day six of fifth grade.

Walked through the morning dew

crisp September morning,

the sunrise


burned


disparate colors.

Cheerful smiles were inverted

my teacher

everyone


weeping.


The T.V. also


burned


with the flames,

of the world trade.

Quite the interesting perspective young lad, and indeed it shows quite what happened in your eyes well. Only suggestions would be instead of giving away what you are talking about use imagery.

This poem is awesome, i have to be honest i didn't think it was about 9/11 'til the end.
