Dear Joe, thanks for your comments on my patriotic haiku. I do have problems with the way our country is being led, but I'm still proud and happy to be an American. Nothing beats freedom. Love, Carolyn

Hum. Makes me thing of God and walking the walk of righteousness instead of baulking and having to caulk life later...GREAT! You made me think! (And thank you for being a community builder and for unselfishly sharing your time to read and encourage poetry on this site. My life took a swift new direction about 8 months ago, and I have not been able to reciprocate. My thanks go to every community builder who enjoys poetry and encourages other poets, like I once tried to do. I love you…all! Lovingly, Dane Ann)
