The despondent Dems continue to search for ways to deal with and express their grief over President Bush's startling re-election. Somewhere between the grief stages of despair and acceptance some find solace in Haiku poetry.

My Dragon Fly and Me If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly! By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me... And we would wing past our lovers silent in...

After the warm rain the sweet smell of camellias. Did you wipe your feet? **** Her lips near my ear, Aunt Sadie whispers the name of her friend's disease. ***** Today I am a man. Tomorrow I will return to the seventh grade. **** Testing the warm milk on her wrist, she sighs softly. But her son is forty. ***** The sparkling blue sea reminds me to wait an hour after my sandwich. ***** Lacking fins or tail the gefilte fish swims with great difficulty. ***** Like a bonsai tree, your terrible posture at my dinner table. **** Beyond Valium,...

Freepers, Poetry is the soul of our hearts. We can converse, pontificate, and rally til the cows come home, but we really show our humanity, wit and truest selves in our poetry. Doug From Upland is a fine example of such an artist. In his poems, we feel -- but we not only feel, we feel each other. Let's show our true colors and show the world the Conservatives are not just lovers of freedom -- we're lovers of words, heart and feelings as well. Post your original poem here. It need not rhyme. If you see a poem you...
