Twin Towers: September 11, 2001
Monotonous keyboards clicking
Redundant clocks ticking
Phones ringing, elevator doors swinging
Coffee pots brewing, vending machines spewing
Insouciant workers, carefree shirkers loitering
Clerks, secretaries previewing, managers reviewing
Visitors on stairs, in lobby chairs, lines queuing
Fate's dissonant chords o'er content hordes teeming
From Crescent's waning moon, spell of doom flinging
Across availing sky, a...

Remembrance of a tragedy 
touches the souls of all of us 
Death came to innocents as terror 
from the skies struck 
Remembrance of a tragedy 
today 
The names of the fallen 
resound on the media 
Thirteen years ago we saw the face of death in...

A Six Year Old's September 11
Daddy, there’s a hole in the big blue sky
Daddy, there’s a hole can you tell me why
Daddy, where are those  buildings that made up eleven
Will all those people go to heaven?

Daddy why does mommy hide her eyes
When she talks on phone about last goodbyes
She...

On Finding Out That Jim Carroll Died September 11, 2009
All these brilliantly shining currents
Of memories
 Of  words.
  Of memories

Like waterfalls gushing out the earthen vessel.
A tragicly equipped troubadour tantalized
By living,    at the movies,

Nodding just so.
Dangling above it all    nearly.
The vision is almost pristine
The way the muses'...

It was a day like any other.
We didn't have a clue,
that before the morning ended, 
life as we knew it would be through.

Terrorists hijacked airplanes,
and turned them into bombs;
crashing them full throttle,
into twin towers with aplomb.

Mesmerized, horrified we watched,
the sickening, fiery foray.
Then one by one...

My heart is in one world, yours is in another,
yet truth says that you are my brother.
We were both born perfect children of God,
but you were wrapped in hate and told that was your job.
I was given freedom, love and the right to dream.
You were...

September 11 - On This Day
On this day, we were attacked; 
On this day, we were mobbed; 
On this day, our freedom was tested; 
On this day, we all sobbed.

On this day, we all stood still; 
On this day, we all held each other; 
On this day, our lives were...

To those who have survived the New York tragedy
To all who have lost family and friends
To all of America united in grief
May it bring you some comfort in the days to come
To know that the souls of those lost to this tragedy
Soar with the Angels...

September 11
Yesterday she was just like any other little girl
Passing notes, soccer camp, the borders of her world
Protectors there with easy smiles 
Mommy's scent, Daddy's hand
Unspoken courage for each new mile. 

Where does she find that courage now
As her world collapses and she asks how?
"Who will...

It's been a long time since the 9/11 attacks. It's also been a long time since the
World Trade Center (the twin towers) had been destroyed by terrorists. The lives of all of
the Americans in New York City have been lost since that tragic day. Their...

Fabric of America, a Day Without Heart, September 11, 2001
It was an insanely barbaric act, from the enemies shrewd heart
They came here to dismantle our souls apart

The two dark planes, hit hard, as it penetrated our lifeless skies of blue space
Leaving many without family, loved ones and others without a trace

As the flickering fire...

A morning like so many others
Sun shining though vaporous clouds
People traveling
Going to work
Living their lives as they normally would
Moments of terror
Images burned into the world’s consciousness
Planes crash into mighty American towers
Fire and smoke rise into the air
People burning
People screaming
People jumping to their deaths
Thousands of souls...

Premium Member An Acrostic Date - September 11
Some events, in each generation, significantly, our lives do sway
Everyone remembers the same exact moment as if it occurred yesterday
Past history that stays in our minds, moments we cannot forget
Terror reigned upon our countrymen from an unknown threat
Even now the vision still haunts us, as...

September 11
In remembrance of the victims and their families of 9/11.

Morning of sorrow
Morning of grief
When so many people
Have died
Shoulder to shoulder
They walked on the street
To help the people
Those who survived
So many heroes
So many dead
Many are left in fear
We will remember
Never forget
Let's hope the justice
Is near...
