#100Days100Poems Day 95 #TantrumTanka #DoubleTanka

When the Trumpet Waxes Poetic
On Setting the Bar Low
Because He’s a Winner

A ridiculous
standard, an artificial
barrier. It’s not
very meaningful. I mean,
how to judge 100 days?

So ignore the goals
and promises I made in
that video. My
first hundred days have been GREAT!–
That’s the spin I’m sticking to.

scientists will march.

Why does every-
one have to judge my first one
hundred days? It’s not
like I made promises or
acted unpresidented.

#100Days100Poems Day 91

A poem and “performance piece” inspired by a recent topic of the WNYC program “Indivisible.” In theory, the ad should say on Craig’s List for seven days.

#100Days100Poems Day 90 #Haiku #TruthHaiku

Day 90. Almost there. It’s hard to believe that all this has actually happened, never mind that we’ll still have about 1,360 days to go when we finish here. Unless Karma intervenes, or, better yet, the law. #KeepFighting #Resist

#100Days100Poems Day 89 #PhotoPoem

We are continuing to present either a #PhotoPoem or #PhotoHaiku inspired by what is found in the collection of sculptures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Rather than discuss the titles, origins &tc. of the sculptures themselves, each #PhotoPoem or #PhotoHaiku will instead be unified by the title the author has given, regardless of the context of each individual sculpture, its national origins or artistic school.

What Does a Trumpet Administration Look Like?

Golf weekends are the
biggest attraction & bombs
the main distraction.
