The Fort Worth Star-Telegram issued a challenge to write Election Haiku. These are my entries. =]

Poem Artwork

if one doesn't vote
they cannot complain about
who was elected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
red states and blue states
electoral, delegates
does OUR vote matter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if conservatives
are right and democrats are
right, will our votes be?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
negative ads do
not solve our nation's problems
get to the issues!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by, for the people
as long as they remember
that when in office
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (9/30)

he that does not vote is not an American -- for not only is voting a freedom of democracy, it is also a responsibility of the citizens of a free democracy -- no vote, no dissenting voice shall you utter -- JMW

The one thing I agree with and what makes it right is that one way or another we have to vote and make it count so we then have rights. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie hugs are on the way, Rose

November will tell

If one doesn't vote one cannot complain, if we vote can complain that we voted wrong? and if all four of them are wrong who we can complain to?

Hello Karla,

How right you are. They need to "get to the issues" -that's real leadership. Great write here.

My favorite here, and I'm so sick of all the money they waste on these Negative Ads - Get To the Issues - but I doubt they ever will.

Your Ku statements are wisely stated. The last one is the height of concern for the American people. "They" talk big now, but what will "they" do in office. Great job, Karla.
