Inauguration Day Poetry Thread
Post your poetic ramblings here. :grouphug:

Cold and clear, the morning of a new promise
Dew-kissed eyes reflect hope and pride…
Relief...Yes, sweet relief.
For though trials yet await,
though each will have to sacrifice,
We are, once again, a free nation.

1. Nobody?
Someone must have been moved to create poetry...

2. OK, I'll try one. I can see why you've been inspired....
A sign of spring
From the heart of winter
New life rises from the icy grip
Minds and souls are touched to tears

A world sings
And rejoices
And laughs once more
And hope is the new fear

If for a moment
The world comes together
And dreams seem possible
And likely and true

And if one man
And his family
Can make it seem so
Then we must be able too

4. You are welcome. I couldn't let your efforts go unanswered.
So I just sat and thought for a moment what this meant to me. And it was kind of cathartic in doing so. And fun. So thank you. Cheers to a better world.

5. Welcome home, home to Texas, Georgie....
Welcome home to Texas, Mr Ex-, I say to you
Allow me now to take my turn
And off you my shoe
