Colleen’s tanka challenge, as always includes the premise that only synonyms for the prompt words must be used…
This week, the words were;
Plan & Finish
Today, it goes without saying, the verse needs to be a tribute to the happenings of 17 years ago in New York…
One man’s decision
Ended the lives of many
And nearly killed faith
Buildings crumbled, so did lives
But hope is still alive yetRitu 2018
But I Smile Anyway...

Wonderful Ritu, and so true! Lets never forget this was only one man with some cruel co-workers. Not believers of a religion. Best wishes, Michael
