So much tragedy in quick succession. You are blest to quickly articulate… I must have a four-quartered bovine udder… hats off 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

There has been so much loss and chaos reported in the news as of late. This is done with great care in a few words. It speaks of the tragic clashing of planes and the search for the remain of the souls who have now ventured to heaven.

So sadly beautiful.
"departure on arrival" - grabs the Reader! An Exceptional line!

I think the incident may have a depressing effect on air travel to DC.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

It will be in passengers' minds for an awfully long time.

Poignant and timely one has to ask what happened? Though we will get a story will it be the truth? Mystery in the river so well set in your poem's words. Just as all good poems should do, so much in so little. The poem evokes strong emotions another sign of a great poem

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, Soren.

[Gee]

I always imagine the terror those involved must feel until death claims them.
Hi Jacob, hope you are well

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Hard to fathom, and those on that side of the plane who saw it coming...
Hope you are well, my friend.

[Gee]

All good thank you

Devastating loss of lives so poignantly penned j. A tragedy.

So sad, and then two nights later a Medivac jet crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood killing all on board including a child. What the hell is going on?

[Chris Shaw]

Another tragedy. Really scary.
