This was one of the first poemographs. It’s also a return to rhyme, and a direct discussion of some larger political truths in the context of the holiday greeting. The photograph is shot into the pond in Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. At the time, Bush was getting ready to invade Iraq, which needless to say, I didn’t think was a very good idea!
It astonished me that the media gave such short shrift to the huge anti-war demonstrations that filled DC the the fall of 2007. I especially like the green left turn arrow in the pic of the Capitol, and the “Republicans for Voldemort” bumper sticker that was taken from one of the protest signs.
