Election Day Haikus

For a couple of years, I used to wake up and before getting out of bed, I would write a haiku. Usually, they were very bad, but about once a month or so, I would write something decent. And the practice kept my creative juices flowing and the discipline in rhythm helped my songwriting tremendously. Since moving to Chicago, I haven't practiced this discipline, but recently, I started up again. Okay, well, yesterday, I started up again, so I am two days into this revived ritual. Anyway, this is what I wrote this morning. Silly I know. But somehow appropriate...

I will not tell you
For whom to vote at the polls
But I will say this:

It’s Election Day
You have a civic duty
So get out and vote

And as for myself?
I Am Woman – Watch Me Vote!
Now, off to the polls…


Feel free to add your own (thanks to Bryan for this idea).
Maybe we can make it a contest. Like the Crouch Music & Fine Arts Library Halloween Haiku Contest. (and thanks to Sha for this one).
I will be thinking of a worthy prize...
