Haiku Friday: The Inauguration

 


Wednesday was something, wasn't it? The speeches, the poetry, the parade (pictured above), the amazing concerts, the fireworks, etc. etc. etc.

Frankly, I was expecting a subdued and somber event. Not at all! There was a lot to take in, and they went all-out for celebration (at least as much as you can during a pandemic).

So, let's haiku about that this week. Here I will go first:

So much going on!
A delight of a day. AND...
Bernie's great mittens.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!


Comments:
The sun suddenly
burst on the stage revealing
truth and dignity


 
I woke up Thursday
feeling calmer, more content,
actually lighter.
 
Lady’s love anthem
Laureate’s angelic poem
Cowboy’s grace-filled song

 
Like a brand new love
After an abusive ex
It felt light, hopeful
 
Bernie and GaGa's
fashion ruled, while Michelle's hair
flowed, loose and relaxed.
 
Age and youth, deep blue
water, lights, breezy sun, masks
and poetry, lack

and field of flags, red
and yellow, purples and black,
anticipation,

noon sign of relief.
Now we see calm Capitol
unmarked by unrest.

 
Amanda Gorman.
Youth, creativity, hope,
in the poet’s voice.

 
He quoted Lincoln:
"My whole soul is in it." How
we believe you, Joe.
 
Gaga, JLo, Garth
gave us the songs of our truth,
our dream, our hope, us.
 
Oh, the hills we climb,
The dark night of the soul, done,
Democracy again.
