Haiku Friday: Freedom

 


Yesterday I was in Memphis at the National Civil Rights Museum, celebrating the opening of a new set of exhibits, including one about my former clinic client Robert Shipp and his remarkable advocate, his sister Veda Ajamu. It was a celebration of freedom, something we too often taken for granted. So this week let's haiku about something that freedom allows you, something bold or quite, profound or mundane. Here, I will go first:

I walk on the street
In sunshine; there's flowers
I might soon feel rain.

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

I wake in my own bed
Go outside, walk in sunlight
Wear clothes that I choose

Meant exploring with your friends
Magic discoveries!

Drive west from DC
on I- 6-6 through the pass.
Taking a deep breath.
