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.
Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as to not offend the Imbeciles. Fyodor Dostoevsky

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.

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785
