Barack Haiku
This new day opens
Barack brings light, hope to all
Look, we are shining!
Black, brown, white, young, old
Holding hands in a circle
Barack brought us here
Strong, deliberate
Barack’s thoughtful gaze takes in
New worlds, near and far
Global green and blue
Barack knows this big planet
He crosses bridges!
Side by side, we work
Knowing we all have a stake
In Barack’s country
Like Barack told us
Those who fought for sure freedom
Open the doors wide!
Transparent country
Government open to all
We see clearly now!
The power of one
Real change moves from the ground up
Barack walks with us
No blue states, red states
Barack paints the states purple
A beautiful mix!
Barack and Michelle
Fireplace glowing, girls smiling
First family love!
Golden horizon
The thin clouds shift, move away
Barack’s sun breaks through!
The strength of support
Obama’s camp never sleeps
Soon, sweet victory!
Over the cornfields
Rooted growth in yellow land
Obama landscape!
Neither snow nor sleet
Will keep caucus-ers abed
Obama calls us!
From Kenya’s mountains
To Hawaii’s waters blue
Barack travels far!
Barack boldly asks:
What is so audacious
About believing?
The White House sits, waits
Ready to fling its wide doors
Open to Barack!
As these days unfold
The sweet anticipation
Of victory breathes!
Let the time be now
When history reveals truth
Barack stands for us!
Pink sunrises, sunsets
Bright bluebird song of morning
Barack at day’s end!
Today we dream, dare
See the kindness-blushed moment
Barack Obama!
To Barack Obama:
You can never imagine
Our deep faith in you!
