9 11 Poems

9-11 Everyday

I wait for the sound of keys at the door, 
A prelude to your eyes in mine, 
For your presence to affirm me more,
Like the timeless aging of fine wine –

Left un-tasted now, ‘til evermore.

The paper awaits your keenly sage 
Review in comforted, shoeless wit. 
The subject ever stays unchanged. 
At least you’re spared reliving

The Tragedy of 9 11

On a beautiful day, skies clear and blue, stood two tall towers, twins so true. But up above something was awry, a boeing 767 had taken to the sky. But in this big plane all was not fine, because a group of people had crossed a line. These people were all terrorists, and horrible ones

Never Forget 9 11

Tomorrow is 9/11 the worst day in American history 

We need to take a moment and pray

Thousands died in those beautiful towers

Many jumped to their deaths 

Some we still can’t find 23 years later

The attack on the Pentagon was a vicious act

Those Heros on Flight 92 gave there lives to save fellow Americans

Terrorists remain in

The Second Plane Has Hit
It’s a confirming statement 
Nobody saw the first plane
There is a puncture in wall 
A visible cut out of a plane 
But where is that  plane ?
Did it penetrate       Thru
The tower            Cutting

It's not that serious, serious.
Seriously, it's not that serious.
Occasionally it's mysterious.
But really, how am I supposed to feel when I never really did heal?

American Dream Iv - Trains - After 9-11

A mournful train whistle,
that most evocative sound,
heralds the departure and
the wheels start their round

There can have been few things as 
satisfying as a long slow train ride,
especially across those rolling spaces
seen from a window, safely sat inside.
We dreamed our American dreams,
listened to all those train songs,
in our minds made those journeys
as we sat and sang

Premium Member9-11, Day of the Apocalypse

Oh, I remember...
A most painful anniversary. I'll never forget
Where I was that fateful September day.
I still vividly remember what I was doing
And exactly how I felt
When I watched in paralyzing horror
As the second hijacked plane hit the tower;
The cataclysmic impact,
Immediate;
Depth of heartache and pain,
Bottomless.
I knew America was under terrorist attack.
The imagery of billowing smoke
From the

Premium MemberA One Breath Keloid Memory: Apropos of 9-11-22

Today my flowing pen
Streams screaming words
Cascading to hungry eyes
And thirsty ears of waves
Of the oceans of minds
Waiting to be sailed upon
In the winds of whatever
The day has decided to blow
Into sleeping sails awaiting
To be blown into awakening
Awareness breezing their way
Over wrinkling waters
Tearing to froth upon healing
Shores to be absorbed by
Dry sands of hope seeking
Long awaited

Dear Todd,

Thank you for saving so many lives in
Washington , DC.
A true American, you!

As your stormed the cockpit, full of our

Premium MemberRemembering 911

It’s been 21 years since that unimaginable morning on the 11th of September…
and each year, on this date, we take a moment to remember.

Family members remember loved ones lost…permanently taken from their view…
The rest of us remember people we never knew.

Memories of their joy and laughter deliver some relief…
bringing with them a little comfort as

for Jesus is God, to look no further

one that is above every other name

Twenty years have passed,
and I sit in deep thought of where I was that day,
and what I was doing. I was home and recorded on eight track for three days
all the events of this day. Today, I think of all the lives lost as a result of 9-11,
