tonight at last Trenise wanders into her home moldy water swollen Katrina water she mutters searching for tiny memories with wild eyes from the marshes and the gulf come silenced whispers tell them not to search we are here tell them to celebrate for us tonight with music blessed music and sweet smiles |

And the saints....go marchin' in... They do, you know....not just will, they do now, and we get to march with 'em for a little way, if we make the decision to. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

This is amazingly written. It has so much information yet in a short poem. Wonderful topic and it definately makes you think about what all those people are going through right now. |

Lady, my eyes fill with tears reading this. It speaks from hope, heart, and heaven, to us. I have been in awe watching life rise again through the grief and devastation in the wake of Katrina. Music, the smiles, and the celebration... miracles of the human spirit. Your poem is stunning...heart felt. Hugs, Karen |

Great poem on an important topic. The media and people as a whole seem to forget that repercussions of disasters they focused on as the flavour of the month (tsunami in sri lanka, earthquake in pakistan, and katrina) take years to disappear! |
