Haikus aren't cheating. This is a response poem.

Here is where I sit,
the friend you once kissed and the
hand you left wanting.

Amendment 1

Caroline, you have broken my heart.

But even though, cold

Woman, you have failed me, I am

Not through fighting for you. I 

May move away from your

Mountains, disillusioned and unseduced, but

I have not given up. You and

Your southern sisters will yet see

How my love is stronger than your

Fear. I have a patient people,

Caroline. A brave people, Caroline.

I have a people with enough

Pluck and moxie to amend your amendment.

I have a people who will keep.
