Pentbomb 911

Crash test dummies pilot,
Birds fueled by fire,
Word cryptic (Alqaeda),

Black crows sing songs of winter,
Sad songs, as a symphony,
In sympathy, of fallen soldiers,

Flames of hell burn within,
They call upon god to rescue them,

Life evaporated, like a smoke mist haze,
Sawdust hits the paves,
Splashed with red paint and humpty dumpties remains,
Scattered across the streets of New York,
News Reports,
16,000 escaped the dross,
24 accounted lost,
2,974 deceased,
Raol Wallenberg search, only handful recrudesced,

Extinguish flame, month’s long pain,
Buildings crumble, dross heap rubble,

Inhumane acts of slaughter,
Unjust by mooncalf soldiers,
Raised by the hands of Lucifer,
Black tar thickens as birds continue weeping,
Singing songs of winter,

Neon light lit, at the empty street, (WTC)
Where American heroes lay, Eternal blue flame,
In memory of (Reflected Absences), (175) (11) Crescent of embrace), (93) (77)
Touching the heavens for Gods embrace,

People morn, of loved ones gone,
Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, Cousins, Uncle and Aunts
For the next generations to come, Explaining where their loved ones,

Feather dust the memories of time,
Unwind in reminiscent of life existence,
God’s creation detonated and stolen of life,
This is an endless fight, we can overwrite,

For those of (Alqaeda),

God creates life, not takes life,

If Africa’s the nation that reigns lands,
You may find God has changed hands,
Due to hostility, no sense of tranquility,
Poverty, lack of shepherdess and prosperities,

Search continues on, buildings now gone,
They have the brawn to carry on,
American spirit is STRONG!.

In memory of American Heroes!.

For those who died without a name, reflection, nor D!.N!.A,
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
Cremated on the land, once touched!.

The best advice I can give you is to google the link above to access info on poetic genres and practise some of the rules!. Until you know the rules breaking the rules are only mistakes!.

back to cliches!.!.!. a good way to avoid some of the problems you may have writing is to actually create work with all the cliches and poor literary techniques you can think of!. You results will not be good poetry but will help you to think before you write!.

Always read your work aloud for poetry is meant to be read aloud or recited (spoken from memory) and make sure that in the beginning you are spelling words correctly and using proper grammar!. Once you become proficient you may play with the words and phrases !.

The poem you have constructed is a conglomerate of many ideas which may have the potential of becoming coherent but as the thing is it is not comprehensible!.
This answer to your question is meant to be helpful!. It is not a criticism, Criticism is rarely helpful for it tends to tear away at the fabric of a persons soul!. Consider it a guide and an encouragement!.!.!. a wish for you that you will achieve your dreams!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sorry! this is just pretentious pedantry that is far too long!. The entire poem, has no feeling, no fluidity and no music, it is just a mangle of pretentious idioms, put together to entice emotion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is this a 'poem' or 'poetry'!? Perhaps not!. It has become a Report & not impartial one! I love poetry & I love them who try to write!. Probably, you have to get hints of composing poetry from some of your teachers or from some poets!. Just get the idea of construction of poetry!. Being not a poet myself, I know a little, since I'm engaged in such profession where I've to deal with the poetry!. (By the way, I had to recite poems every week in the local Radio Media & few famous poets are my senior friends!) I wish your success!. Please do not get disappointed!. One has the right to love ones country----but the POET should have to be impartial & rational, you sure know it!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
