JFK, May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963--a 10 word poem
yesterday, our calibrated counting made your gruesome death an… anniversary
Another Hello Poetry member and I were exchanging messages yesterday, commenting about how all of us old enough to remember (I was almost 12) knew exactly where we were when we first heard the news of Kennedy's assassination--our generation could recall not only who told us (or whether it was the TV or radio) but also precisely where we were when we were informed. The generation coming of age today, scores at this site, are likely to have the same vivid recollection of 9/11/11.
