Annual Poetry Contest
That Day
By Melody King Sorrento, FL
2002 Contest: Honorable Mention Place
I see It happen
I hear It call
eyes don't deceive
We take the fall
life continues
struggles are fought
Time keeps momentum peace is naught
questions roll
drizzling down
off these lips
off this frown
We hold a light
a speck of flame
invisible to Theirs
unable to tame
remark
try
retaliate
Die
Our lives are wasted
drift away
like the ashes
of That Day
