A site I love - Bridges - has a loop of memoir 100 words pieces up in memory of September 11. I don't know how often they switch. Mine is in there somewhere. They are full of variety and stunning I think - some good young writers in this crew and lots of feeling from different perspectives. http://awarenessbridges.blogspot.com/

The piece I have in there is the airplanes one I wrote last year.


September 11 Airplanes

Jet planes became weapons,
silver bullets hurled by hate
at abstractions of greed,
shattered real lives,
orphaned real children
widowed real wives.

Your poem is powerful, Victoria. I will also look for it on the Bridges site. I am glad that it will be published on such a site. I do understand why you enjoy Bridges!
