#PoetryMatters #Derby

I found out something interesting while looking for a haiku for today's prompt. Haikus are written every year for the horses, it's called the Haiku Handicapper. See link below if you want to know more. 🐎

I rather liked Derby as a character. I‘m really glad Vonnegut didn‘t focus on his execution. It got mentioned and we moved on. The detail was saved for other things. All the deaths were really mentioned in passing, followed with “so it goes” and we all moved on.
@Faibka this bit stood out to me as well

Faibka Yes, I loved this quote because it is so true and yet in the character of Derby he presents the hopeful example that there will still be those who refuse to just be part of the background, even at the cost of their own lives. A powerful statement 5y
GingerAntics @Faibka I totally agree with that assessment. I rather liked how human Derby was. I think everyone can relate to some part of him, but then that‘s true of most of Vonnegut‘s characters. 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig My juleps are more bourbon less mint. Irish War Cry 😔 8y
Hobbinol I just picked up from my derby dinner party. 8y
Jess_Read_This @missnavigation It's a solid war cry 🙌🏼🥃... we had so much mint from the garden most of mine ended up as photo props.. 🙈 8y
