Weekend Assignment from Scalzi

Weekend Assignment #66: July 4 Haiku! A 17-syllable holiday poem, please!

What is haiku?
Poems with this syllable count:
Five, seven, then five.

And for these haiku
Imagine holiday fun
Then share it, briefly.

Or simply tell us
What our nation's holiday
Represents for you.

(Non-USA folks:
Write a haiku all about
Your home country, too!)

Extra credit: Patriotic pictures!

Ok, that's the assignment and as an ARMY mom, I am all over this one:

This Mom's Flag will wave

When Fly Boy comes marching home!

Glory Halleluia!

  3. I heard a chopper had been shot down a few days agao and immediately prayed for your son...and I checked to make sure he is okay. I think of him every night.
