Harmony

Music, and life, and poetry

should shun what breeds cacophony.

Yet seems that critics of the arts

choose rap and crap to foist on me.

                 The Quill

The quill can stroke; can wound; can cleave.

It can inspire, instruct, deceive.

A weapon with unholy force

when used to stir what fiends conceive.

 

 

Zen-U.S. Constitution

Change Amendment I!

That said must always be true...

make lying taboo!

 Labor Day

It’s just another holiday?

You should read the tale

of how the Pullman strike

made U.S. pols turn pale.

 

The government reacted

with soldiers and police.

The workers had a wildcat strike...

made commerce almost cease.

 

The Prez knew angry workers

must be mollified.

He pledged to them a holiday

to honor those that died.

 

Now Labor Day is many things

as summer fun is over.

We should cease to wear white clothes...

even your dog Rover.

 

Soon school will start, vacations end,

we picnic and have fun.

But, remember as you play,

the workforce this day won.

 

Trump MAGA Saga

Trump is no longer president,

but as The Don it’s evident.

His threats to RINO lives

make red pols fear all he contrives.

{Some choose to pose as his best friend...

pray his control anon will end.}

Rhymed Senryu-Bliss

Life brings joy and pain.

Soul, skill and wit wax and wane...

love can bliss maintain.
