Drip! Drip! Drip! Drip! Drip!

The sound is haunting, daunting —

Music to the ears!

Senryu – According to Merriam-Webster (2019), the ‘Senryu’ is “a three-line unrhymed Japanese poem that is structurally similar to the haiku but treating human nature usually in an ironic or satiric vein.”

Summer into Fall . . . a haiku by tkbrown

Summer’s hottest days

are the ones toward its end —

and then, fall begins.

Just some thoughts on 9/11 – Eighteen years ago today – the day known as 911 – the people of this country united as one against ‘the enemy’. Patriotism was at a pinnacle for a long time after that day. Now, patriotism is viewed as ‘far right’. This view is so far left that it does not even recognize itself.

When the best thing that can be said denigrates another, that is not patriotism – it is denigration. I would like to see some more of that patriotism that was so strong after 9/11. I hope it does not take another attack on our country to bring it back.
