Th...Thank you all for reading and for remembering.<br /><br />This was the first time I've tried a sestina. It's a tough form (for me at least, others seems to whip them out), but it's beauty is in the repeat of the words; hence, the theme of blue (among others).<br /><br />This still needs a lot of work, but it embodies much of what I remember and grieve about September 11, 2001.

It seemed almost insulting that the sky could stay blue amongst all that dark. <br />Thank you for this.Deanna Schrayerhttp://theothersideofdeanna.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186877685534377957.post-9275777434707038702010-09-12T01:30:51.559-04:002010-09-12T01:30:51.559-04:00Wonderful tribute, Linda...Wonderful tribute, Linda...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413377601369107260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186877685534377957.post-21511399941398539502010-09-11T22:58:13.487-04:002010-09-11T22:58:13.487-04:00Wow.

And then these words took my breath away:<br /><br />is a steel-bound casket, the plane<br />pulses with souls insistent, prey<br />trembling, mortal flesh and smoke-stained,<br />metal-wrapped in a dragon’s breath.<br />For the meek, the blessed, to heaven<br />will float ashen to brilliant blue.<br /><br />A fitting tribute. Well said.<br />Peace to all on this day.Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.com
