Tempered Grace

TEMPERED GRACE

one challenge, one heartbeat, one goal
blinding blast--Boston’s blood
achievements brutally, ruthlessly denied

(My prayers and heart go out to Boston--the Athletes and their loved ones)

I like this poem. It is very honest about life and what happened. ~I must also thank you for your kind words. The pictures on the front page are determined by how many points you earn; eg, posting comments and poems. I live in Washington, quite a ways from Texas, never been there actually. And yes, I do enjoy an occasional haiku, though I think I would get bored if that was all I wrote.

- Such atrocities stick to the retina - Very well written Kim! - The first thing I wrote "Blood, Tears and Death" - It was the first thoughts I had after the bombs hit. - Have a lovely week Kim. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
