Justice for all? That’s a faraway dream
In this once great edifice, hardly “supreme”

I, ice age beasts once loomed large, then were screwed
It might have had something to do with their food

H, Hampton Beach on the New Hampshire shore
Where awesome sand sculptures were there to explore

Gingerbread cookies, I need to bake more
My elderly mother is who they’re made for
Her eyesight and hearing are totally shot
But senses of smell and of taste still are not

#CoSoPoetry #AlphabetPoems

F for our flag: when it’s getting threadbare
Retire it with all appropriate care

#CoSoPoetry #AlphabetPoems

E for #EVs and for efficiency
The numbers are clear if folks wanted to see

#EVs #CoSoPoetry #AlphabetPoems

D for my #dogs who must board one more night
Because of the &$#@ing delays with my flight

C for the Celtics, with Banner 18
The City of Boston is decked out in green

B is for baseball, once summertime fun
But parental hijinks ensure there’ll be none

A, air conditioner for my grandson
A gift for the summer - bought, installed, all done!

His World Central Kitchen risks
Everything to serve

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”

#911 #Haiku #CoSoPoetry #CoSoHaiku

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!

#Politics #CoSoPoetry

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
