Cantigny

Here's my oh-so imaginatively titled poem about Cantigny Gardens:

Cantigny Gardens
by Jane Hoppe

out of the overflow
of vision and wealth ...
fountains

flowering chestnuts
like pillars ...
majestic

grape arbors
arching above ...
serenity

yellow hello, blue angel,
purple petals ...
play

Here's my takeaway from the First Division War Museum at Cantigny:
A World War II-era poster with the beginning date of 1778 and ending date of 1943 said "Americans will ALWAYS fight for liberty."
