Haiku Friday: Good Flags, Bad Flags

 Who doesn't love Alaska's flag? Simple, elegant, meaningful:
 

 On the other hand, we have Minnesota's overburdened flag:
 

 Seriously, who came up with this? The blue is nice, but then there is a little bulls-eye in the middle with way too much action. Here is a close-up of that:
 

 So there's a tree stump-- nice. And a Native American appears to be riding by the land stolen from his people as a guy in a hat uses a plow. In the back, it looks like... maybe a drained lake? There are many unexplained dates floating around, and what look like onions are garnishing the periphery.  Well, that sums up the state pretty well!
 
Let's haiku about flags this week. Here, I will go first:
 
Olympic medals
Awarded under flying
Banners. Look for ours...
 
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!
 
 

Comments:
Colorado has
The best flag and license plate
No one else comes close
 
Ohio Pennant
Unique amongst all states
Which strikes me as odd
 
Virginia Flag
Latin motto, deep purple
Dead guy on the Ground
 
Washington, the state
Scenic coast, mountains, forests
But stuck George on Flag
 
'Ol Red, White & Blue
the U.S, France, Netherlands
U.K., Russia, more!
 
As I grow older
The white flag of surrender
gains in relevance.
 
The Olympic Ring
colors can be found in the
flags of all nations
 
Trucks and flags and guns,
Flying flags on vehicle.
Seems a bit hostile.
