#100Days100Poems Day 86 #TruthHaiku

What Does a Trumpet Administration Look Like?

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

#100Days100Poems Day 85 #TantrumTanka #FoundPoem

Today’s #TantrumTanka is a #FoundPoem from our very own Trumpet’s twitter oeuvre.

All This And a Bit of a Mis-Fortune Teller, Too

“Be prepared, there is
a small chance that our hor-
rendous leadership
could unknowingly lead us
into World War III.” Well, duh!

#100Days100Poems Day 84

“I’ve noticed an infestation here. Everywhere I look, in fact. Nothing but undeveloped, unevolved, barely conscious pond scum.” — from ‘Men in Black’

 

Bullies in the White House;
bullies on the tarmac;
bullies behind news desks
& podiums in press briefing rooms;
bullies in country clubs
& boring board rooms;
bullies roaming legislative hallways & capital cupolas,
wandering golf courses & congesting Fifth Ave,
twittering the internets & bungling their missteps.
Bullies bullies everywhere

Anyone know a good exterminator?

#100Days100Poems Day 83

Today’s edition of The New York Times featured an article about a bar opening in Manhattan this coming Friday — a venue that can turn your thirst for protest and libations into charitable donations to entities targeted by Trumpet. Coup, as it will be called, deserves our business and inspired today’s #100Days100Poems piece. Now, who wants to meet for a drink?

 

A Cinquain Butterfly for a Bar Called Coup

Can bars
#RESIST ? Of course
they can! Call it a Coup
(d’état) alcoolique–cocktails as
weapons
of charitable giving. Plus
for four years we’ll all be
needing more booze,
won’t we?

#100Days100Poems Day 81 #TantrumTanka — Now We’re Caught Up!

The Perks of The Scheme
or
They Won’t Really Notice, Will They?

My favorite thing
about being president
is unlimited
golf vacations at swanky
Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

#100Days100Poems Day 80 #PhotoPoem not a #PhotoHaiku

Though this should have gone up yesterday, 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.

 

Despite Signs Saying Not To Do So,
The World Stands, Watching & Waiting,
For Something to be Done About The Orange Impostor

#100Days100Poems Day 79 #TantrumTanka

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 77 #TantrumTanka

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?
