I’m from England. I’d go for: wind, tea, drizzle, fish, chips. What say you other flutherers?

‘My country….’ that’s hard for me.. I don’t feel like I live in ‘My country…’ so I’m going to answer this for New Zealand….. which was home, but not where I currently live.

Freedom, Green, Dynamic, Self-reliance, Unique.

Unable to come up with five words that encapsulate a country of such diverse populace, politics and beliefs, but…

I give you a two-part poem about America that describe, at least through a poet’s eyes, what our country is and what we wish it to be.

@silvermoon Love it… Bold! So wonderfully true. I miss David Lange… he was an amazing statesman.

@silvermoon I’m sure you should include sheep as one of the five for New Zealand, and maybe hobbits too.
