Haiku, uh, Monday results
Because I get easily confused in the summer, we did haiku on Monday, but it was great! I was especially moved by two of them--
This one from my mom:
On 4th of July
I read my dad's account of
World War II service
Made me sad to think
of our country's values now.
Was struggle in vain?
Will compassion rule?
Can all thrive in America?
It depends on us.

And this one from Craig:
Blue Fourth of July.
Hard to muster much
spirit with hateful MAGA.
CNN reports
only 39% of Dems
proud of America.
Imperfect history.
Aspirational values
no longer in play.
Corruption, greed,
selfishness, and red MAGA
hate of other: SAD.

I also loved Desiree's:
My immigrant and
veteran-rich family loves
enjoying flag cake!

And this from Christine:
Fireworks above
Bursting colors paint the sky
Americana.

Who also had a response to Craig (who, I think, was in MI):
MAGA hats absent
But patriotic t-shirts
And crosses adorn
Many attendees
Await the skyshow, pass time
With endless scrolling.
