Revolutionary Haiku

Hasty Sling

So many redcoats
Stand in the way of freedom
Aim center of mass

Hasty Sling

The Menace,

once again, by your leave, I submit a new haiku and a revised one from another thread. Hey, you've put a great task before me. And there's how many days until Patriots' Day?

Our Patriots' Day shoot
Though disrupted this one year
Still dwells in our hearts

On April nineteen
From many town squares and farms
Our freedom was born

Hasty Sling

Two more haikus...

This Patriots' Day
The memorial volley
Is dry fire at home


Still, do not despair
Join fellow patriots
With a common mind

TheMenace

Confined to home
No Memorial Volley!
Constitutional?
Sons of Liberty!
Defend the Constitution,
The Law of Our Land

Time to start the annual Haiku for Patriot's Day.

Muskets then rifles
The Patriots fought for us
Our Liberty won!
Sons of Liberty!
Defend the Constitution,
The Law of Our Land

Let's turn our focus to Valley Forge, 1777.

Another free Christmas day
Greetings Appleseed
Sons of Liberty!

Joked with my fellow compadres at my last event that I'd be ready to teach IMC (for promo to iit3) when I understood it well enough to write an haiku about it. Still working on it, but have my first line written. :)

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."

Kozinski, dissent in Silveira v. Lockyer

Quite an entertaining and intriguing thread, inspiring me to participate despite not having written a haiku since the first term of Ronald Reagan. No guts, no glory...

Lexington Concord
Patriot heart Red Coat blood
Liberty bloomed

In seventy six
George traversed the Delaware
Bitter frigid cold

Safety steps factors
Aim small miss small persistence
A clean AQT
I tell you true, liberty is the best of all things. Never live beneath the noose of a servile halter. ~ William Wallace

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. ~ Wyatt Earp

Let us drop talking and get on with our work. ~ Michael Collins
