Always remember and never forget.


Poem Artwork


The film got stuck in
the projector as
each scene ratcheted
on eyes not used to
seeing the monster
up close, personal.

It was all too real,

The screams of horror,
the chills running up
and down the spine, the
images we can't
erase coming back
to haunt us, once more  --

this, not a movie.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (9/9)

Things that haunt over and over and can't be deleted get stuck in most people's files Karla. I pray for us all. We need an angel who removes rubbish...Good luck...JDM

The monsters in the Executive branch scare me more every day and it is NOT a movie. The people dying in Iraq are REAL!

I don't think that fiction can conceive of some of the horrors that reality presents, Karla. Would our tremendous cerebral capacities could be put to use to find constructive solutions, though. We certainly have no desire for any 9/11 Two, Three or Four... God help us... Love, Kate xx

Bravo Karla
It was our wake up call to the reality
that surrounds us
now it's too late and all we have left
are memories of a true to life horror.
Peace be with you

an important reminder for tomorrow; just for this reason alone I wouldn't go see that recent movie about it. I was home on that morning and when I turned on the internet it was so horrible a thought, I thought it was a sick movie being released but turned out far too real; being my New York's Long Island, I lost a distant cousin, Chris Quakinbush in the South Tower, but I didn't know him well. Still that monster's tentacles were long!

I hear you. I watched a movie this morning about the two port authority police officers that they pulled out of the wreckage. I still can not fathom the degree of grieve these familys are still going thru. That would included our service men and women and their families. Perfect words Karla on the eve of America's blackest day.

America - the land of the free.
We all need to hold onto our convictions and join together to erradicate the hate.

Unfortunately, Karla, it is NOT a movie; it is REAL, and it is going to happen again if we don't take steps to ensure our safety! God help us! Powerful, hardhitting piece you have penned; NEVER forget, and God bless America again!

Yikes. I was talking to muslim friends today, they said it was the worse moment in their lives, they had lost families in algeria, come to england or america and realised they could be hated just as they were in their home country, due to a few Imans, and a wrong thinking group of men...

Haunting indeed..

Life is the only movie where we are the actor, director, writer, producer, photographer and editor. We are also the projectionist too.
