Nine Eleven 2001

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

September 11, 2001 Baby

on September 11, 2001 as the World Trade Buildings fell
                    a precious baby girl was born to our family
I was struck at the time about birth and death
        

'that Day' 9-11-2001

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

Memory of 9-11-2001

September morning 2001, the 11th, I recall
The Twin Towers in NYC were standing tall
And all seemed right with the world
Until evil at America was suddenly hurled
Planes smashed into World Trade Center
Heroic responders bravely tried to enter
Another plane ripped into the Pentagon
While Flight 93 over Shanksville was gone
America irrevocably changed that day
As international terrorists had their

Written On Sep 11 2001

Dismissing evil and good
Upright and smiling he stood;
Materialistically modern in mood
Filled full with rationalist food;
Denying inherent sin
Liberally enlighten within.

Dismissing evil and good
Puffed-up self approving he stood
Pursuing illusory appeal
With academic assumptions so unreal;
Denying inherent sin
So liberally enlightened within.

Dismissing evil and good
All-seeing,all-knowing he stood;
An idealistic ego
Coupled his elitist credo
Denying  inherent sin
Liberally enlightened within.

Until a September morn
When

2001: a Poetic-Space Odyssey

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra"
proclaims the Dawn of Man &
The Monolith

From the ancient past
to the (retro)futuristic present
as the flying bone
becomes a satellite in orbit

Blue Danube waltz
serenades space:
the Pan Am space plane 
gracefully docks with 
the space station

Ligeti’s haunting polyphony
envelopes space:
Floyd visits
The Monolith on the 
immaculately stark moon

Beautifully tragic
Khachaturian ballet suite
announces the Discovery’s 
lonely mission to Jupiter

Circa Sixty One Years Ago July 6th 2001

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

Surviving September 11, 2001

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.

warped minds and hatred
the massacre of thousands ~
hells fires awaits them

Armand 1934-2001

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

Ode To 911 Heroes In 2001

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

Jan 5th, 2001

I never felt sure
I knew it was possible
even probable

but how could I know
that she would come in winter
through the open doors

how was I to know
on the very first Friday
of the first new year

of a new decade
century, millennium
that love had arrived

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.


Fate hits the face:
In that sad place,
A tragic space,
Anchors odd grace.


The world awoke:
Watched terror yoke,
Huge fatal strokes,
In dying poke.


Yes mind still sees:
Madness set free,
Harsh tragedy,
News on TV.


Hijack of jets:
Terror did
