finish line in sight

excitement for the future

keep pushing forward 

hai “coo coo ca—choo” 

November 6th almost here

play a bit with me

our three-lined poems

count seventeen syllables

five – seven – five beats 

♫♫♫♫♫

♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

♫♫♫♫♫

listen to Ken Burns

“revolution not over”

liberty for all

true USA champs

grab Democracy Docket

spread their truth full speed

IWILLVOTE.COM

rolling big blue wave roaring 

bop vote hip vote hop 

Richard Blanco sparks

“hope—a new constellation”

poem “One Today”

Bon Jovi singing

“We’re building their house of love

it’s called “The People’s House” 

Stevie Nicks powers

“I wanna be ‘The Lighthouse’ 

bring it out in song”

nine long trauma years

Kamala Harris rising

joy repairs our hearts 

look who loves her gift

a “Cookbook From the People”

White House recipes

“easier, lighter”

“O-o-h Child” Doane Music School plucks

“things’ll be brighter”

back to prose next month

November’s autumn leaves fall
