WOW. I am very impressed Karen and Zippy-kat! I really like both of your styles. Karen, I love the first lines and last lines of your poem. It's quite different then all the other poems about 9-11, and that's what I like.... Zippy, great images....you can almost feel the cold air reading that! How could anyone say that is not poetry because it doesn't rhyme!

Casper & Kitty, good job on winning that contest! I wish we could hear that poem. But I understand you know, about some poems being personal. I've written some that I never intended others to read.....sometimes it's almost like you are just writing your feelings on paper.
