Congrats North Star! I put your poem on my list of nominations for the LitNet poetry book.
Thanks, Danik, Tailor & YesNo.
Next subject: independence
Deadline: July 4th
In honor of the American Revolution I can’t understand how the British of all people ever got themselves into a position where they need to Brexit
The British finally understand
Why people want their liberty.
That ruling Thumb pressed on their land,
That bureaucratic, fisted Hand
Gives to its dogs a sharp command
To “Stay!” or else be free.
On the Brazilian declaration of independence:
D. Pedro I raised his sword
And said the fatefull words:
"Independence or death".
Since then people wonder
Which one of the two it is going to be.
My Conflicted Independence
In the battle for these United State's independence
I had, most likely, family on both sides of the fence
One-half Brit and the bloodline of a founding father
Should I enjoy the fireworks or act up ? Oh, the bother !

Proud like a May flower, my square rigs
bulging with downwind gusts, my figurehead
showing the way, I cleave the pounding
waves of destiny, forever free,
my own and undepending island.
And yet, when all is sailed and done,
I know I’m but the whore of favourable winds,
and if one day the sun dried out
the seven seas, I’d lie like jetsam
on the sandy beach of my own solitude…
Secession's Embers Still Burn
Long before “Brexit”,
there was a Lone Star “Texit”
When Sam Houston told
Santa Anna to “Mexit”.
Deadline is approaching, if anyone wants to still enter.
independence
is a word redundant
without the meaning it reluctant
and that is freedom always come
to those who do not sum
war which is where it is from
Hm, I liked all of the entries very well. I don't have the time or energy to offer the comments the poems deserve, so I'll just name the winner - YesNo, with the poem titled 'In honor of the American Revolution I can’t understand how the British of all people ever got themselves into a position where they need to Brexit'. I don't recall if the poems have to also be titled minimalistically in this competition, though. :wink5:
Thank you, North Star!
The next topic is heat or warmth.
Deadline in two weeks.
Congratulation YesNo ! and thank you North Star !

How TOS Contributed to Global Warming
Texas summers are hot,
‘75 stands out as a scorcher.
As young Gilliatt got a rise,
from Yeoman Rand’s eyes
and Uhura’s robust thighs.
yours eternally
the warmth of your heart
illuminates your jade seas
emboldens my love
