    The original idea to blog about each writing piece in the book has become this: I’ll blog about the poems that have stories. Although all of them have stories, some are so obvious that unless you ask, I’ll just leave it be. But I also may not have reached that piece yet. In the end, there are no dumb comments!

The Oklahoma City National Memorial

Posted by 10yearsofthot on July 25, 2007

If you’ve never been to Oklahoma City and you think it’s not worth it, you need to come and visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial. I have been all over Europe and this memorial is the most honoring I’ve ever seen. The creators did not just want to commemorate what happened, they created a space to reflect, a space that completely obliterates terror and rests in peace. The Memorial is open all day and night. It is impressive in both the light and the dark.  I took my 18-month old son to the Memorial one evening. It is the most serene place, but he wasn’t having it. He wanted to sit in the chairs and was as disruptive as could be. His name is Truth.

 What is your take on this poem? Does it make you want to visit?
