In remembrance….9.11.12

 I wrote this poetry (Haiku) after visiting the rebuilding site at ground zero September 2011.   The grief was still fresh but there was hope mixed in….   

Ground Zero 9.11.11 

Heartache fills the chest

Terrorists murdered thousands 

Pain is fresh and new 

Haunts walk the gardens 

Four hundred trees, firemen all 

the fountain of tears 

Green leafed trees stand tall 

Names carved never to forget 

Red, white, blue flies proud

and  

Anniversary 9.11.11 

I wait to exhale 

will terrorists celebrate 

with their big loud bang? 

walking among us 

to celebrate what they did 

murder innocence 

today, a grief day 

remember a bright, fall day 

ten short years ago
