The Pride Flag and the Diversion
For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn. The birthplace of the modern gay rights movement now flies only the United States flag.

We give our heart to people, we handle the tensions, and they step on our heart. Splat! Lol. I'm sorry, I know that's now what you meant here but it's the first thing that came to mind. Loved your Haiku!
I really like how the peace is splattered by the last line. Excellent
Powerful, comical and sad. Love it, lass!
That end-line really is dramatic and I'm here for it
Don't usually like haiku much... too short... but I liked this one. Lovely and can have different meanings 💙 Anneliese
So perfect and then splat! Loved this! Sort of funny and sad at the same time.
Brilliantly done Kayleigh!
