@Marc: I guessed what the prompt was about when I saw it :) I have to say, I wasn't convinced that Roy Moore would lose. Trump backing him did look like it would be the nail in the coffin (Trump's not getting a good record with who he chooses to endorse) but Alabama has been Republican for a long time. I think I like your haiku equally today; they're both simple celebrations of what happened :)
@Morganna: I like how you sum things up with yours as you capture my lack of conviction that it would really happen perfectly!
A victory for common sense The people voted They were clear about what they Wanted. That's: no Moore.

Morganna - hurray! :)
ReplyDeleteGreg - yeah, I wasn't sure what would happen. I don't think I was even hopeful. But I am definitely pleased with the outcome.
Hah, two good ones to pick from here. Not sure I can vote against 'no Moore'... so let's go with that as my fav this week :)
