Haiku Friday: Young Americans
We're going to do something a little different this week. Instead of the usual "total freedom" thing on Haiku Friday, this time I'm going to require that either the first or the third line of your Haiku be "Young American" or "Young Americans." It's five syllables, so it works! And I think it will take people in a lot of different directions.
Here, I will go first:
They went to the beach
For this: To take back Europe
Young Americans
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun...
[and speaking of Young Americans, the video above (from 1975) features David Sanborn on sax and Luther Vandross as a backup singer]
