That Day

"Too many new headstones
Each a reminder of the day"

You should change THE DAY to THAT DAY. I believe this will be more powerfull.

Other than that this poem rocked me to my core. It was hard to listen to but it was needed. Your poem brought up the one issue that has yet to be solved in this nation. (so far) Thank you for that

and Thank you for the read.

A sad and poignant reminder your poem well written as always. We must never forget the hatred and anger those attacks generated. A truly sad time and a sad day of remembrance, 9/11. Coming from England we all felt for the American Nation our Brothers and Sisters and friends. Life at times sucks but we move forward but the scars remain. I to served in the armed forces as a member of the Royal Navy an ex-submariner I lost friends in the Falklands and know the frustration of being unable to do anything I was stuck in a classroom for most of that conflict.

-I'm pretty sure it's actually Bin Laden.. Just sayin'.

Anyways, what a well written poem. I will never forget that day 9-11. I don't think any of us could possibly forget that day. What a tragedy. Every year it seems like that's the day that nobody wants to see on the calendar again. It was such a terrible day! I always find it ironic how when I look at the clock during the nighttime.. it's always 9:11. It's like I have a internal clock or something. These people will definatly never be forgetten.. those who died and took that trip to heaven. Great write, Losey. I will never ever forget that day. I don't think any of us could. I used to have a poem based on that day, but I don't know where it went. Wonderful job, 5/5. Although this is one of your older ones [I am guessing] since it's at the bottom of the list, it still contains a lot of meaning. It's that one day that started this looong war that never seems like it will come to a end.

I love this. 911 hit me bad too. Especially now that I'm old enough that I'm into politics. Beautiful poem. I say pull the troops out. Just opinion though

I remember, too. I was in 4th grade... In my advanced reading class. Even though so many people have said that they are so sick of hearing about it, I think that we need to be reminded of it. I makes us really question our values and things that we take for granted. I love this poem.
