Am not a tree hugging hippy but,,

Dolphins galumph by
that strange yearning joy they bring
a good day to be

are you nuts?! How would I keep up to date on what's going on with Paris and Sanjay? Have to know what's really important in life... war? What war? Two wars? Sorry, have to miss that, Heroes is on tonight!

Yes, Niemoller

Was it first they came for the Jews, I thought it was the trade unionists. When I lived in Boston that poem was at the Holocaust memorial and I always loved it.

Galumph

galumph "to prance about in a self-satisfied manner," nothing like www.dictionary.com to help improve and expand your vocabulary. This made me think of the days where I can just be me and be happy being me. Kinda relaxing, thinking of the water, sand, soft sunlight, and uber contentment.

Thanks for the spelling lesson

much appreciated Princess! I am making a note of "galumph" I thought the haiku was rather odd the way the second and third line ran into each other. But then I really don't know alot about haiku's or spelling. Thanks again, Mark

the 2nd and 3rd lines don't necessarily run together

no punctuation, they can be separate, oh and galumph is a made up word from Lewis Carrols "Jabberwocky" but means pretty much what iceprincess said. cheers, Jess
