*my mom{SEA} said I should post this here  Sadness that consumes the world hearts broke, tears in eyes fake smiles mournful good-byes Sadness with it's never ending path sooner or later everybody has to take its wrath Sadness consumes your body to the core nothing can stop it it can come through your front door Sadness covers your face like tape you can't breathe there is no escape ~Jezzika~ age 11 *this was inspired by 9-11, and the sadness from that day. |

What a tribute to those who are still suffering, and those of us who have experienced deep changes in our lives since 9-11. What also amazes me is that you, my dear young poet, are wise beyond your years. I hope you continue to follow in your Mom's footsteps, and view poetry as a way to not only get your thoughts across, but that you become very adept in mixing the world's situation into words that we can all understand. I am so very Proud of you! |

WOW Jezzika! I sincerely hope you will continue to look at the world around you and create poetry from what you see. This was a piece of poetry that I never would have guessed from a young person, and extremely well done. We are all still in sorrow over September 11th, and it will be a day I personally will never forget. I hope you read this at school? I have to say, if I had a child with this gift of poetry I would be extremely proud, as I am sure your Mom is Great job! The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. ~* Albert Einstein *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (03-11-2002 02:45 PM).] |

This is a wonderful tribute to those who lost their lives, and those who are still suffering on the six month anniversary of 9-11.

This is great! I especially liked the last verse...sadness is like a tape across our face sometimes. It makes it hard to breathe or talk. I would like to read more from you. I hope you write some more and post soon!  Do you have a favorite poet? Would you like to challenge us to write something for you? You can give us a topic or a phrase and we'll do our best!! |

A wonderful poem, Jezzriekaka. And I, too, join you in extreme sadness. But let's try not to let our sadness turn to hate. I know it's hard but somewhere the killing must stop. And hate always goes too far. And then, more killing and more sadness. -Silver Streak Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

This is very good. And, yes it does seem as though the world is consumed with sadness. So many broken hearts and tears. |
