If ...

 
If you have any Republican friends on Facebook, no doubt you've seen all the "We have to take our country back!"  banners that Tea Party types like to post ad nauseam. 
 
I saw one again the other day that read:  "NOT a Democrat, NOT a Republican, Just an American that wants to take his country back!!"  Being in a snarky mood, I posted: a response that simply said, "From Whom?" .. My comment was deleted within minutes..

Early-bird Friday special at the Haiku-lodeon ...

 

 

This week's heap of haikus:
 

--------------------------------------


Sun’s up, day’s begun.
What’s to come will not be fun.
Letting go is hard.


----------------------------------------

 

Our hearts are widest
when we put aside our thoughts
and let ourselves feel.
