Keep it short, and not TOO poignant...a lot of sore feelings still abound about this tragedy, whether your intentions are good or not, don't overdo it. \n\nKeeping it short also means that you don't have to rhyme too many words. The main point I have is that 9/11 is pretty much in everyone's consciousness...you don't need a lot of words to get the point across.

O.K.    I have searched and searched for this poem...Is there possibly a different title??? I ADORE and LOVE Leonard Cohen but I am at a loss on how to help you....I was hoping that someone else would step up because I was dieing to know the answer myself!!! I'm so sorry.

THE SPEECH BUSH SHOULD HAVE GIVEN\n\n                            \nGood evening my fellow Americans.\nFirst, I want to pass on my condolences to the people of New York and all Americans that are hurting in this tragic time. You can rest assured that anything and everything that can be done to assure the safety of our country will be done. This is the greatest country in the world and we will get through this trying time. Now is the time for all people to set aside our petty differences and show the world that no one or nothing can destroy the fortitude of the American people.\n\nTo the people responsible for Tuesday's tragedy, I say this: Are you fucking kidding me? Are the turbans on your heads wrapped too tight? Have you gone too long without a bath? Do you not know who you are fucking with? Americans are so hungry to kill, that we shoot at each other every day. We will relish that opportunity for new targets for our aggression.\n\nHave you forgotten history? What happened to the last people that started fucking around with us? Remember the little yellow bastards over in Japan? We slapped them all over the Pacific and roasted about 2 million of them in their own back yard. That's what we in America call a big ass barbecue.\n\nEver seen Texas on a map? Ever wonder why it's so big? Because we wanted it that way when Mexico started jacking around with the Alamo. What are they doing now? They cut our lawns.\n\nOh yeah remember England? We sent them packing.\n\nAsk your buddy Saddam about fucking with the good 'ole USA. The only reason he got away the first time is because it's too hard to shoot someone when you're doubled over laughing at them. Our soldiers aren't trained to laugh and shoot at the same time. Now he couldn't stop a pack of cub scouts from taking over his shitty little country.\nTrust us, Afghanistan will end up a giant kitty litter box. Go ahead and try to hide, Bin Laden. There's not a hole deep enough or a mountain high enough that's going to keep your camel-riding-ass safe. We will bomb every inch of the country that harbors him, his camps and any place that looks and even smells like he was there. Hell, we might even drop a few bombs on people that have pissed us off in the past. This is America. We kick ass. This is what we do. Go ahead and laugh now, but the Tomahawks are coming and we will smoke your sorry asses.\n\nGod bless America

That poem rocks.  I know that it is controversial.  I would be interested to see what people thought of a choice line or two from the poem.

Very nice Jennifer. Every person who writes poetry or song took the time to write something about that tragic day, probably as a way to alleviate the grief we all shared. My daughters and I wrote a song that day. I hope your writing has helped you through and thanks for sharing it with us.

I wanted to help so badly, but I can't find it. I searched for about 30 minutes. I Found a great site though. It tranlates poems into English. I will tell you if I find it.  P.S. when I originally searched the poem and went to the site a poem came up but it was blurry and it was in the Greece catagory.\n\nGood Luck,\n          Chelsea\n\n\n\nI updated my comment so that I could give you the English translation to singlesockcollectors poem: here it is\n\n\n\nLeaf turns brown fall, you have just flown away yourself, branch patronizes, you want to separate yourself.  This life source, that\nformerly nourished you, Asserted, embellished, nevertheless is not dried up!  \n\nAs a burning love, in violent pushed, This velvets nectar knew to stuff you.  This tree, that has you it does?  You in has you it too given?  Of a too perfect love would have you it flooded?  \n\nThe life that climbs in him, and cannot flow itself, NEEDS this puit, where she can s’épancher itself.  The vigor of the summer,\nwhere you puisas the joy OF A delighted happiness, the abandons without you.  \n\nSmall leaf turns brown, where go you to put yourself?  Will rejoin you foam it and his cold dew?  Do not go you to take mourning, in the frozen earth, With of other feuillées, that already are\nwithered.  \n\nDauphine 30/08/2004\n\nCheck the site

I think maybe a quick read, something along the lines of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" or my other favorite short story by Tolstoy "War and Peace". Make some smores over the stove with peanut butter and contemplate life's little mysteries like how far is to far,  how much is too much, and how drunk is too drunk? Maybe make a Mobius strip out of licorice and do an Escher connect the dots. Then I think I'll just kick back with a bottle of Crown and wonder why 3 out of 5 analysts recommend me to fellow analysts. \n\nHaven't gotten around to thinking about Sunday or Monday yet but I'll be sure to keep you posted.

I think this is a great question (opportunity really) to get some of us closet writers to post our own writing...maybe even get some fun feedback, or just enjoy reading some other writer’s work as well. So, thanks for the chance. Well here is one of my earlier poems:\n\n"A Passing, Sulfur-Green Passion"\n\nThose green eyes, once filled with rage-rampant fire,\nFueled a whim obsessed fervor that partook of every desire.\n\nNot once did any glance go unrewarded in a closed-door fashion—\n   A youthful body withered by long nights of unprotected (un-sustained) passion. \n\nFeeling ephemeral stares, \nImagining they seek out what lurks behind badly salt-stained eyes, omens-old\nShe is forever surrounded by sulfur-smoke, \nLost in sustained moment of grey-cold.\n \nAnd those wet orbs cannot receive a spark of compassion\n \n   For anyone’s love.
