***For Boston***
Smoke and Chaos
By: Adam M. Snow

 

I see smoke, waking pain;
cries of souls, death in vein.
I see streets flowing red,
among many lost or dead;
reigning chaos from insanity,
growing strong our humanity.
I see from terror rising heroes,
amidst chaos, love arose.
Flowing tears still being shed;
many nations, mourning the dead.
People scattering like fluttering birds,
screaming cries still being heard.
I see from chaos, many uniting;
a nation’s love, a fire igniting.

I haven't seen any written pieces about the situation (yet) besides yours. Which I must say I'm glad to see. A very nice and thoughtful dedication from you on this situation in Boston. No matter what people think about who did it, Government or etc, it's still a situation of tragedy.
I really like this piece, as usual your writing is excellent and enjoyable. The rhyming as always, so spot on and it feels so... effortless. Such a great flow of words.
I truly think you captured the imagery of the situation in Boston wonderfully in all it's tragic details, yet the hope of "uniting" and "nation's love". Thank you for writing & sharing this piece.

I really like the light touch you gave this piece- it's elegiac, but not maudlin and hopeful without trivializing.

I feel for them there in Boston, as I do in I think it's Texas too. So ecstatic that it's over and that justice will be served. We always preserve, come back stronger. The is a WONDERFUL, touching piece. Loved it. Thanks so much for writing it. And I know Boston would love it too. Can't wait to read more of your works. If you decide to read my works, hope you like them.

I feel for Boston. I have seen the recent news posted in Yahoo and it surprised me. I don't know why they even planned on doing such a feat in a great day. I mean, it was supposed to be peaceful and fun but they did something bad. Nice work and well penned, kudos to Boston and hope they'll rise again from their emotional crisis

" I mean, it was supposed to be peaceful and fun but they did something bad"

The logic is that it makes a powerful statement. The problem is that the outcome is so abominable.

I want you to know i literally had shills going down my spine as I read this. You captured this event so well, I figured someone would write about it I thought to do so but, unsure how to express this in words but, you did it perfectly. You've captured the lost and all that has occurred understanding in this something over wells the people of this nation and others when a lost has occurred in such a way. From people ready to bring arms to find justice or to just sing your nations song at a boston hockey game. You captured the emotions of this even from when it has occurred and where it stays in our hearts. The writing had a wonderful flow of play on words as I like the syntax here. Honestly wonderful job, wonderful job.

This is the first piece of writing that I have seen about this subject. You did a great job on capturing all the emotions. Amazing. I enjoyed the read.

This is a gripping and vivid account that fully realizes the gravity, tragedy, and terror of the event. I really enjoyed this read and I especially liked how you ended the poem; with the unity that comes from terrible events such as this. Your poem gives me hope for the future in this uncertain world of ours.
