What Does a Trumpet Administration Look Like?

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

#100Days100Poems Day 82 Not a #TantrumTanka but a #TruthTanka

When Your Press Secretary
Speaks on Message Out Loud

If it walks like a
Nazi, talks like a Nazi,
and praises Hitler,
it must be a Trump press con-
ference Spicer shit show.

It’s All Downhill From Here
or
What They Don’t Teach You to Do
In Obedience School

First, the nuclear
option. Then bombing from an
isolationist
position. How do you stop
them from wagging the damn dog?

#100Days100Poems Day 78 #PhotoHaiku

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.

Wait Wait Wait
That Fool Sent How Many Bombs Where?

On a Random Thursday, Mid-day,
Overheard Somewhere in the White House

 

“Investigations?!?
Are they heating up? Well, let’s
deploy the ‘weapons
of mass distraction’; distract
the masses with weapons. Now!”

#100Days100Poems Day 74 — Not a #TantrumTanka just a #Tanka

The Humanist’s Quandary

I want to know how
wrong is it, really, to hope
that those who voted
Trumpet will lose home & health
& jobs. Too tough a lesson?

#100Days100Poems Day 63 #TantrumTanka

Today’s #TantrumTanka is a found poem, using the [con] man’s own words from a just-released interview with Time magazine. I read the whole transcript, and it’s amazing I could find two sentences together that made some sort of sense, despite their delusional claims.

 

“I guess I can’t be
doing so badly because
I’m president and
you’re not.” “I’m president and
you’re not.” — [“Doing so badly”!]
