#1 of a Threeku mini-series, as we celebrate US “independence” this first week of July…

NOTE: a “Threeku” is a series of three haiku (or senryū) on the same theme, or otherwise related and connected to each other in some way — a thematic trio, a triplet!

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.
