This was written off of prompt #16 on Scott Woods’ Live Journal:
“Write a poem about an aspect of a national tragedy that contains:
- no statistics
- no references to other national tragedies
- no newspaper headline references
- no mention of the media, or lack thereof
- a focus on some aspect of the tragedy that no one else talks about much, if at all”.
I wrote about a second-hand story told to me about an act of kindness in the wake of 9/11. This is written in chained lunes. Enjoy.
