Tumbling cloud (4th of July 2011)

I'm thinking of freedom and fireworks so before we head out the door, here is something from Yeats and something with fireworks — Happy 4th of July!

I will not be clapped in a hood,
Nor a cage, nor alight upon wrist,
Now I have learnt to be proud
Hovering over the wood
In the broken mist
...Or tumbling cloud.

— from The Hawk by William Butler Yeats

And click here for a poem with fireworks, a 4th of July tanka with kigo that links to the title.

Have fun, be safe!
