Let's renew the Revolutionary Haiku exercise in the thread above until Patriots Day.
Awesome, I just noticed your signature. Also I watched the youtube link - thanks! I hadn't seen that before.
If I may, two versions of my haiku...
April the nineteenth
Seventeen seventy-five
Our freedom was born
Load and make ready
From every square and farm
Our freedom was born

wow - that video is great.
A question was asked recently about 'Why did you take the hat?'

I'd thought about posting but there were lots of reasons and would have had to write a long long reply.
That video - that's why I took the hat.
Seeing some great entries. We have poets among us who know very well what they are about!
Here's my three Haikus
That Day . . .
Shots fired. Blood shed.
Patriots died. Lexington.
Forever thankful.
Sorrows . . .
Run through and through.
Bayonetted. Life lost.
Weeping at the wounds.
Battleline . . .
Faces of fury.
Following Gage's directives.
Faces of resolve.
