Thanks, all. Some real gems here!

this morning the light
seeped through grey clouds, felt its way
over the landscape

Yes, I’m thrilled to death, but I am always plagued by irony. Here are a couple of attempts at Haiku.

We call upon
Descendent of our oppressed
To save us from ourselves

Finally a chance
For fair share of the pie
It is already eaten

I stumbled awake
5.30, turned on, broke fast
on euphoria.

On tenterhooks,
Hope and fear for O,
Even here in Canada

(as Brenda said, we’ll take him if you don’t)

Grey skies lower
On a day full of Hope,
Barack Hussein Obama

Bits from voters swirl –
wagers on democracy.
Hope trumps past rebukes.

London boy, thirteen,
Sets his clock for five am.
“It’s history”, says he.

A growing reek:
some farmer has expressed his views
with a manure spreader.

If Barack don’t win
We’ll welcome him in Kanuk
To be our PM!

(Translation: Let me tell you, if you don’t vote Barack Obama for President we’ll be happy to have him as our Prime Minister up here in Canada.)
