Hi,
After reading your profile, I think what l would like to
tell you about me has to do with communicating.
I like to write books. The more I
write the more my writing improves, and the better I become when chatting. I’m
both a fictional and non-fiction writer. Below I have included one of my poems
I wrote called the 4th of July. Thanks for your response. Karl
The 4th of July
INDEPENDENC E DAY
Hats off! Along the street there comes a blare of bugles, a
ruffle of drums, a flash of color beneath the sky. Blue, crimson, white it
shines, over the straight marching lines the flag is passing by signifying the land and ocean fights, the grim and great, fought
to save the Nation. Weary marches and
sinking ships, cheers of victory on dying lips.
Hats off! The US flag is passing by. You are so grand in
every fold, linked with mighty deeds of old, steeped in blood where heroes
fell, torn and pierced, by shot and shell.
Hats off! Throats swells at the sight of you, the flag is
passing by. Days of glory, tears of war kept our Nation, great and strong,
warding off dictators doing foreign wrong. Pride, glory, honor, live in the
colors stand or fall. Hand on your heat as it floats by.
Hats off! Streaming a loft in the clear, blue sky,
rippling, easing, tugging away, gay as the sunshine, bright as day, throbbing
with life. Never lost a war or Democracy. Flag of our country, flag of the free.
Hats off! The flag’s raised
high; bare our heads as it passes by. We thrill with pride, and our hearts beat
fast, we cheer and cheer as the flag goes past—the flag that waves for you and
me—flag of our country, flag of the free!
Hats off! What of the
men who lifted you, Old Flag upon the top of Bunker Hill, who crushed the
British cruel will, mid shock and roar and crash and scream, which crossed the Delaware
shore to shore. Who starved, who fought, who bled, who died, that you might
gloat in glorious pride as it passes by.
Hats off! Stars shine high for liberty, white stripes purity,
crimson for honor’s sake. Fight and die, forever more, any time, any place, flag of the free!
Hats off!
