Je T’aime, Paris: Revolutionary Blogging Haiku

To again stand with/
Vous for freedom, we say:
“Lafayette, we’re here!”
OR
“Lafayette, we’re here!”/
we shout, again standing with/
Vous for Liberté.

I Am Charlie: Revolutionary ImproVerse Free Verse Poem

Whether for cartoonists,
or cops,
or comics
or commentators,

or dancers,
or artists,
or poets,
or actors,
or journalists,
or designers,
or satirists,
or writers,

we stand,
free,
and dance,
free,
and paint,
free,
and create,
free,
and write,
free,
and speak,
freely,
free.

Can you hear
the people sing,
and speak,
and draw,
and write,
and dance,
and act,
and be?

Je suis
Charlie.

Je suis Ahmed.
