Novem: Affects IX in 1973

Nine college students record music
at some sheltered hideaway place.
They're killed in a van mishap,
on the way back to school.
Yond thirty-one years,
their songs recalled.
Sometimes fame
comes too
late.

Susan Ashley November 27, 2022 at 2:39 PM Dear William, the sad tragedy of your Nonet is beautifully expressed. Heart wrenching indeed.. Congratulations for your wonderful placement in Andrea’s contest. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan William Kelii Kekaula November 27, 2022 at 4:27 PM An off-the-beaten-track of adversity, Susan, during that time in November, whereto, their memories were recognized decades later. Thank you for your endearing expressions my friend, Aloha William

Andrea Dietrich November 21, 2022 at 4:28 PM I really like how you wrote about an event that actually happened. I lived that time but do not recall this story. A great tribute to them. Congrats in my contest. William Kelii Kekaula November 21, 2022 at 6:14 PM I appreciate my placement, Andrea, for this heartwrenching occurrence that had its film debut in 2006 I believe. Thanks again my friend, Aloha William
