My kids love haiku –
it’s a poetry shortcut
(in their little minds).

Morning rush with kids
looking for books, gloves, and hats –
crazy ’til bus comes.

We voted — took two
hulking teenagers in to
pull the lever. Nice!

My kids love to vote –
one comes in the booth with me
to pull the lever.

Nice to see the kids –
I really missed them this trip
and yearned to be home.

The kids ride their bikes
on the last day of freedom –
school starts tomorrow.
