as death crawled upon our shores
And innocence cried

Amazing Haiku. Brought me right back to that day standing in the middle of a small cafe with a group of strangers staring at the one tv in the place
I was just 11 when this happened and I can still remember the news on the TV. It's was so devastating 🥺
Will always remember that day. Perfect description of a day of infamy.
Sadly it definitely the description of that day
Perfectly put, never forget.
Right in the heart. Well done on putting into so few words the tragedy of that day, Kelli!
And heroes arose while others considered dark things they might accomplish in the shadow of these atrocities.
I still remember exactly what I was doing when I saw the breaking news on that tragic day. I think we all do.
Always brings me to tears...let's never forget
