This gave me chills, Kim, as I just finished watching a documentary about this horrible date in history. Well captured using such a tight form! Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, Sandra

Thank you, Sandra! I used to wait for the boat back from Ford Island, and think how people on that morning in 1941 had no idea what was about to happen. Surreal!

Such a sad aura floats above this poem Kim. You have expressed these feelings of fear and loss wonderfully in this poem. It is brief but oh so powerful. Good luck in the contest.
