On Freedom
There were some great haiku this week-- but only one from an identified person. And that was Des (and I love what she did):
Drive west from DC
on I- 6-6 through the pass.
Taking a deep breath.
on I- 6-6 through the pass.
Taking a deep breath.
We also had four anonymous entries. Here is #1 (I'm a sucker for an art history entry):
Rockwell’s Four Freedoms:
Of speech, worship, from want, fear
Portraits of the free.
Of speech, worship, from want, fear
Portraits of the free.
And #2:
Night skinny-dipping
At summer camp in Texas
Sense of weightlessness.

And #3:
Freedom as a kid
Meant exploring with your friends
Magic discoveries!

And finally, #4:
I wake in my own bed
Go outside, walk in sunlight
Wear clothes that I choose.
Go outside, walk in sunlight
Wear clothes that I choose.
