haiku-usa: fourth

Tuesday, July 04, 2006

This is a tribute to my neighbors in Queens NY, the most ethnically diverse county in the United States:

Fourth of July

best time we've had

since Cinco de Mayo

Masago said...: Bravo!

¡Tiempo del partido!; 7:43 PM
Bill said...: thanks, Vaughn.; 7:11 AM
polona said...: a fine tribute.
thanks for the preface - it wouldn't have worked for me without it.; 1:56 PM
Bill said...: Thanks, polona. Yes, I recognize that, especially for readers outside the US, this may not work as a stand-alone ku. In fact, I was simply in a mood to celebrate ethnic diversity on America's birthday. I'm about to post a tanka as a companion piece.; 6:22 AM
J. Andrew Lockhart said...: Another great one -- :); 9:41 AM
Tikkis said...: Zapata's boots
tramples Geronimos
footprints

(Ps. Perhaps they never met; Zapata 1879-1919, Geronimo 1829-1909, but just tried to collect to Names in one short text...); 10:47 AM
Bill said...: thanks, andrew.

tikkis, I doubt they met, but it's a nice alternate universe concept.; 11:36 AM
Bill said...: And thank you, aurora.; 7:22 AM
Yansidara said...: oh wow! i love it! :); 2:34 PM
Bill said...: Thank you, yansidara.; 9:33 PM
