The First of November

The First of November

A Poem by Lizzie
"

3 years ago on this date there was a horrific apartment house fire in my city that took the lives of 6 people under the age of thirty. It touched me in such a way that I had to write about it.

"
The First of November 

Rising from the shadows 
Of a neighborhood block
A hulking black skeleton
Overcasts the flowers 
Laid beneath...
The delicate paper hearts 
Try desperately 
To bring beauty to a scene 
So hideous, so scarred. 
Will the sun ever shine here... again?
