Premium Member Hope Beyond 911

In the evil
Festering dark shadow
Of September 11
Hope rises
Grows out of
Bone fragments
The building blocks
Of humanity

911 Senryu

someone stole my heart
                                      ok I left it unlocked
                                      with the keys in it

The Ghosts of 911

On 911,
The twin towers
Said, we cry out loud
For this blood,
We shed
Tears become flames
These deadly games
Haunted by, 
The ghosts of men
Before, we truly die

My trainer said just one more

Now I'm stretched out on the floor

Helpless here flat on my back

Waiting for that heart attack

Someone dial 911

Now the end has just begun

I'm feeling weak as a pup

I don't think I'm getting up

Premium Member Warm Reassuring Branches

Cuddled in complacency
Assuring herself nothing will change
She is content

Personified oak
Wrapped in warm bark
Warm reassuring branches

Perfect husband
Happy children
Wonderful life

911 happens
To her
Tearing her limb from limb

911

Where oh where have the great men gone
The ones who open the door and carry conversations
Who keep flowers coming for your report card of
How you are doing
Maybe they never were at all 
Just a  figment of imagination
A wanted thing dreamed up by lovely women
sad

Porsche 911

Soul matters
Driving in the Californian sun
Reaching out of your car laughing at pedestrians
River flowing clear as day
Sunlight shining
Amazing flow
Old times
Drugs
Cocaine
Mafia
Alone in the Cali sun
Diamond rings
Glowing night
Amazing women
Oooooo!
Diamonds!

My Very Own 911

She goes to work each and every day
Not knowing who she will save today
So proud I am of her
My Son is the lucky one

18 years she has been saving lives 
Not once has she asked for a prize
What courage she has protecting our lives
I am so proud of her she is my 911

I tried to resist you
You're no good
for me
You're bad to the
core
I love you
I hate you
I don't know what I feel
When I’m around you 
I don't know what
or who I am
What I feel for you
is powerful 
And much bigger
and stronger than
me
So 
Help!
Help!
Help!
911!

Remembering 911

Nine Eleven two thousand and one

No One
In
New York
Expected

Eighteen years ago
Live images of 
Explosions 
Vividly 
Exhuming 
Numbers in the

Thousands
With
Only

Their
Hands
Or the
Unbelievable
Sacrifices
And
Non-stop
Dedication

Astonishing 
Nerve and
Determination

Our
Nations Hero’s
Every one of them

Premium Member My Neighbor Calls 911

I have a neighbor who ties up 911
Complaining that a dog is barking 

A person who is in dire need might not be able to get through
He might not be able to connect while they are still conscious
We have tried to explain this to her

But she is selfish, and does not put others first
Pete’s garbage can is still out.
There she goes to call 911.

The 911 Call

Police approached his bathroom door
Guns drawn in dramatic fashion
In answer to his 911
Noting that his face was ashen

He told them that He locked the door
After waking to the racket
They said, "That was fast thinking sir,"
"To fight crime's, more in our bracket"

It turned out to be a Roomba
There was no thief to charge the crime
Although they had to write it down,
It got a nickel and a dime!

911

9/11/2001
A day of darkness
The sky is gray all around me
Ash falling down like snow
Sirens screaming
Frantically fumbling through the debris just to get free

People crying in the streets
Searching every face they meet
Heavy hearts with tear soaked eyes
A moment to think I’m alive

How can I help? What can I do?
Somehow we will make it through
Altogether is how we stand many years on this precious land.

911-Loss

The tragedy of loss we feel today
          Will never forgotten; may never go away
          Mothers,fathers,sonsand daughters
          Their memories will never faulter
          In our hearts forevermore
          Heaven has surely opened it's door
          Now angels in heaven they shall reign
          Never knowing hurt or knowing pain
          To live with Jesus forevermore
          In heaven where they shall forever soar.

Mistaken Identity

Some crooks are dumb as they come, these thieves should get what they deserve as they won't go so very far now they're done taking a ride in the stolen Police car... with, 'To Protect & Serve Dial 911,' printed on the side. When the judge asked them, 'Why?' and stressed, 'It's best if you confessed.' The wiseguys both admitted, while facing five to seven, (have you guessed?) 'We thought it was a Porsche, a Porsche 911.'

A Silent Moment

today i sit
in silence
beneath darkness
in remembrance

the sky 
didn't get the memo
its thunderous roar
is echoing 
across the hills
crumbling 
my chain of thoughts
like buildings
lost

flashbacks
blinking
in fragmented
bolts of lights
like explosion
of mind

grounded shadows
falling down
all around 
like lives
gone

its anger 
lashing in streams
stinging like tears
against my face

perhaps
it’s just lashing out
in remembrance too
