Can we feel this calm?
Magic Eight Ball says, “Perhaps…
If you are a cat” 🎱

#Caturday #Haiku #CoSoPoetry

Maybe what you fear
Isn’t that bad once you see
Just how small it is

#NationalHaikuDay #Haiku #CoSoPoetry

Melancholy day
Bitten by the rabid bat
Only cure is time

#NationalHaikuDay #Haiku #CoSoPoetry

Make today the day
You sing #CoSo’s praises with
A five-star review

#NationalHaikuDay #Haiku #CoSoPoetry

Whose woods these are, I have no clue
My stepson said, “You’ll love the view”
“It’s 15 minutes, follow me”
At 30 minutes, I could see
We’d gone astray through mud and muck
I wondered, “OK, WTF?”
An hour plus, a tiring slog
(Although we met a friendly dog)
And found the turn that we had missed
Exhausted, muddy, rather p*ssed

#CoSoPoetry

They don’t need a plane
Enemies have learned to use
Our own “patriots”

Justice, one lady Trump should not have groped
She would not capitulate as he had hoped
Instead, she will prosecute each heinous crime
Determined that Donnie will get prison time
He led a conspiracy to overthrow
America, who - like the lady - yelled “NO!”
Emboldened by Putin, enriched by your base
Who flaunt MAGA t-shirts with your mug shot face
Jack Smith has your number; he’s onto your con
Your long Reign of Error™️ ends NOW, Teflon Don!

Here’s my #haiku for
National Bad Poetry Day
Hope it hits the mark

#Maui crying out
We can’t feed the victims but
Jose Andres can

For everyone who replies to this post with a #haiku about Hawaii in any format in the next half hour (by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time this morning), I will make a $10 donation to World Central Kitchen to support their #Hawaii wildfires response actions. https://www.worldcentralkitchen.org/relief/hawaii-wildfires-2023

Bullets fly… again
Quiet contemplation can’t
Drive the pain away

“WITCH HUNT!”, you say?
Well, indictment’s a b****
Cry to Baba Yaga

Save us, #StPatrick, for all of our sakes
Please rid USA of these damned Gadsden snakes
Who wail like a banshee, “noooo! Don’t tread on me”
While treading on others with bloodthirsty glee
Our women, our children, our seniors, our poor
Our veterans, people of color for sure
Whoever their leaders decree is too “woke”
These creatures attack and their venom’s no joke
The LGBTQ folks, their allies and friends
On you, dear St. Patrick, their future depends

Our veterans, people of color for sure

#RonDeSantis, a Florida man
Had a Machiavellian plan
Based on “anti-woke” hate
In a fascistic state
He rebranded as Floridastan

MTG has been unleashed; that harpy’s just insane
But Kevin gave her power that he now cannot restrain
She horrifies her colleagues with profanity writ large
Behaving like a monster, smug and ruthlessly charge
An insurrectionist whose plans for violence are clear
The husband who divorced her is the only winner here
This b**** is lacking intellect and gravitas and class
A Trojan horse, some posit (or a Trojan horse’s a**)

#CoSoPoetry #Politics

Insurrectionists
Still among the #SOTU crowd
Plotting their next coup
