So technically we should probably call this a #HeadlineTanka, for tantrum it is not. And I really wanted to start a whole #HeadlineHaiku, but haiku it is not. Regardless, it’s a found poem, nicked from headlines in today’s NY Times.

Fresh Tactic: Toning It Down
A Softer Touch But
Not a Pivot On Positions
Unity is Elusive”

For the first 100 days of the Trumpet administration, this blog will feature a new poem of protest, by my own hand and by others. They will be polished gems, or rough cut drafts of rage, or in process pieces searching for peace. They may be haiku or tanka, limericks or lyrics, verses free or fettered.
