when we reflect on how it was
years from now when we are safe
will we remember kindness flowed
it is my hope we do, because
we learned a precious lesson then
when nature had her way with us
our differences tossed to the wind
ashes to the ashes, dust to dust
when sorrow gripped the human race
will we remember kindness flowed
when souls were cured through acts of love

Magic 11 poem – my variation on the Magic 9 poem, a 9-line poem that doesn’t have any rules as far as meter or subject matter–just a rhyme scheme: abacadaba. Enter the Magic 11 abracadabra poem with the r’s intact, placeholders for a refrain. Rhyme scheme: abRacadabRa. (R for the refrain).

This is beautiful Kat, I have the same wishes too. Sadly I think memories will be too short! And history gets changed. 💜💜💜

I know Willow. We had a brief time of unity after 9/11. This tragedy is different though, in that it is ongoing with no compassionate leadership at the very top. At least here in the US this has been a grassroots movement. It is as if people are slowly waking up. It’s sad it took something like this to make that happen.

Thank you for asking. The move late last year and a heavy workload set me back a bit. I’m happy to be back. I miss Twittering Tales too. Still figuring out my new routine to see where I can fit it in. 😊

I’d been meaning to ask ever since you stopped. But I could understand that you were too busy. Thanks for letting me know. I can promise you that I’ll keep participating whenever you decide to resume it. And I hope that you decide to resume it. Take care, Kat. Much love. ♥️
