--Magdalena Dale - Romania
Votes:52**** Points:09
Comments:I like the play on "leaf." Purists may object to the extended moment.

of her memory
--Margaret Dornaus
Votes:34**** Points:11
Comments:Effectively understated pathos, with a hint of humor. Imagine, 365 days full of senior moments. But, of course, there's sadness here, too.

only one date
circled in her calendar –
the 11th september
--Cezar-Florian Ciobîca
Votes:21**** Points:04
Comments:I like this, but find the last line confusing. It sounds as if it’s 11th anniversary vs. September 11th? Maybe it is? A bit too ambiguous.
