Pol Taint {Rhyming Senryu}

When it’s time to vote,

denier pols should denote

they’re of minute note.

Trump’s Georgia Call

 

The Don’s talk with Raffensperger,

Georgia’s Secretary of State,

tells us how far The Don will go

with use of power to dictate.

 

Trump threatened from his catbird seat...

on his long call he did browbeat.

Some red pols said Trump had that right,

Grand Jury might The Don indict.

 

                                                                        Deception

If fraud now sets the rules aside

and honor's code will not abide,

you must negate an evil state,

and do your best to turn the tide.

 

 

 

Darkness {Senryu} 

That which was perceived...

 best in no way be deceived

by what dusk achieved.

 

 The Poet

The poet has but words for paint. 

With proper tone, he stirs sans taint.

His biggest banes are lines that rein.

His foremost fear he's formed too faint.

From my book, Rubai Gems.

 

Beautiful Sunset

This day may never come again.

Best quickly, in the mind, append.

If Time perchance efface his slate,

the bliss is lost to heedless men. 

From my chapbook, Sunset.

 

When Liars Conspire.

How can Trump and Putin be friends

for they are both noted liars?

How can they know what each portends

when they don’t know if either errs?
