Favorite Quote:
Life is full of possibility."


Remembrance, time of life passed in sorrow

Err lives on with sins, day lives for follow

Sensation was fast, drifting in emptiness

Time walked slow, dark them in loneliness

 

Inequality of pain among

Nymphs to heaven belong

 

Placate the terror! Let the darkened spirits rise!

Eliminate the somber! Call the agony ones wise!

Alas! Here they lie brave in the grave of caution

Chambered their liberty, promoting tension

Embed on the wall or memory in precise!


The author's comments:

This acrostic poem(the first letters of each line spell out a word or phrase) was meant to have a somber tone. This poem was meant to have an expressive sorrow to those who lost their lives during one of the most severe plane crash happened in China. 

Airline China Eastern with aircraft Boeing 737-89P departed on March 31, 13:11, Beijing Time, and later resulted in a tragedy due to a stall collision. "More than 12 hours after communication was lost with the plane, there was still no word of survivors." (pbs.org)

With such a catastrophe, I decided to compose a poem to express my sorrow and sorry. This poem was written two days after the trauma happened.

WEEP, MOURN, 

FOR THE SOULS!
