A day That I’ll always remember A very somber DAY A very sad day A day to ponder A day to wonder A day Not like any other day A very unusual day A day to pray A day to say A day of madness A day of sadness Oh! my God A very crazy day A day to respect the Lord A day of hell A day to hail The Almighty With respect...

You’re just watching T.V. Then a horror you see It’s beyond comprehension “That can’t be … it just can’t be Eyes should see things lovely Not what they say that day If we turned off the programs Would the images … go away? Some will never forget The smells, the scene, that sound Agonizing reality Not all loved ones … would be found. Not found, but they’re...

Circa sixty one years ago July 6th, 2001 - birth of dear beloved wife We now get along swimmingly analogous to this bro and his older sis on the cusp of our gifted silver married years if her presence absent, I would sorely miss after earlier decades bereft of wedded bliss. Rarely did yours truly acknowledge birthday of his former fancy free presently...

The glorious sun rose that day, But darkness was soon to follow. Carnage was not far away, As screams pierced the flaming sky Buildings fell like stones So many lives taken On the wings of evil....

Charon 2001 by Michael R. Burch I, too, have stood—paralyzed at the helm watching onrushing, inevitable disaster. I too have felt sweat (or ecstatic tears) plaster damp hair to my eyes, as a slug’s dense film becomes mucous-insulate. Always, thereafter living in darkness, bright things overwhelm. Originally published by The Neovictorian/Cochlea...

He died as he lived Without making waves Without fanfare A simple man A humble man A loving husband And devoted father A man of principles Of integrity A dreamer A macgyver Determined To live with integrity And harmony At peace with both Living and dying Ready to meet His Maker Leaving with a promise on his lips To keep over us a watchful eye Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~A SIMPLE MAN~ 2020 Submitted...

Nine eleven heroes on a plane one day Took Frodo's advice, and gave their lives away In a selfless act, known to only a few, They gave their bodies up, and became angels anew When heroes step up and run in and save others, They are showing their best, integrity taught by their mothers. Their fathers can have some credit if...

Condolences Forever Invoked - 9/11/2001 (I sit corrected for typing year 201, when most of America untrammeled by hordes of humanity, and probably far more similar to the garden of Eden, which approximate space/time continuum disparity only about twenty centuries ago, a place unimaginably wine ding with saltine, pristine Ovaltine, NON GMO gluten and monosodiumglutimate free...

SEPTEMBER 2001, 9/11 New York (Dedication: To Those Souls Who Left Us So Abruptly That Day. RIP.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In crisp refrain: Feel so much pain, Loss felt again, Tears in sure strains.

Yes mind still sees: Madness set free, Harsh tragedy, News on TV. Hijack of jets: Terror did...
