President Trump spends
an inordinate
amount of time
on the
golf course

practicing
his nine iron
swing
and
the preciseness
of his
putting

the American people are outraged
as he's not dedicating
every minute of the day
to  his Presidential
duties which have
accumulated
since
the fourth of July
holiday

given that time
ticks by
at
a
fast
rate  
President Trump
must ensure
that
his love of golf  
isn't
prioritized
over
serving the people
of
the American nation's
state
they came they saw they conquered
swathes of territory
thence hoisted their much decorated
banners of victory

in time they who conquer shall
be superseded
whereby all their territories
are duly ceded

Hexed
the 47th President's administration
must be hexed
as it lurches from one disaster
to the next

yet the administration won't change
its misdirection
nor give it an urgently needed
correction

it appears that the administration is on
misfortune's path to doom
and over it will hang the darkest ever
clouds of gloom

the late eve's sunlight
doth quickly recline toward
dusk's dark horizon
by spending money
on continuous warfare
the empire didst fall
it ate up its cash supply
until there wasn't a cent left

Empires of the past
had also done the same thing
yet America
ignored history's lesson
that should've of been well heeded

An Ambrosia Of Love
an ambrosia of love
permeated the
air
lovers captivated by
its beautiful
fair

two souls tasting the
oneness of love's
romance
a close combination
to the alluring
dance

hearts sharing a profound
link of
emotion
the fruits of love
conferring deep
devotion

ever savouring love's
bouquet so
divine
a harmony of such
satiating
entwine

an ambrosia of love
permeated the
air
lovers captivated by
its beautiful
fair
the evil twosome
signed an unholy contract
which was sinister
it didst bind them together
in the wickedest union

The Four Seasons Haikus
Spring...

gardens adorned
in resplendent floral blooms
lovely of display  

Summer...

sunbathers shall lie
on golden beaches of sand
lulled by the sea

Autumn...

plain's grasses turn beige
as fall's air bleaches each blade
of its verdant tone

Winter...

snow clad pinnacles
make for an impressive sight
upon the skyscape

The Drums Of War
the drums of war never
seem to
cease
hence why the world cannot find
a lasting
peace

in every corner of the globe
the people ask the same
question
is it necessary for yet
another warring
session  

the drums
reverberate
the drums
won't abate
the drums
constantly beating
the drums
not retreating  

and so the drums of war
stay
thereby negating that peaceful  
day

war is a maddness
causing much too much saddness
let saneness prevail
in his hands
he held a chunk of rock
within it lay
a diamond of beauty
he pined to extract
her from the ore
for he so wanted
to see her perfections
yet she'd not be
cajoled
out of her mother load's
material

he pondered
over the gem
so exquisite
how he yearned
to sense
her facets gleaming
exclusively for him
but she was embedded
and unreachable
there she'd stay in the
rough mantle's ore
ne'er could she be
his to embrace  


he'd not feel her heart
palpating along side him
all hopes were dashed
his longing would remain
the lovely diamond
not releasing out of the
rock's permanent casing

hey Mo I ain't ever seen you
looking so
low  
why oh why are you
looking so
low
I really reallly
want to
know

well the reason why I'm
looking so
low
is cause I've been
cancelled
bro
          
my act didn't well please
the ones afflicted with that
cancel culture disease

cancelled for good
cancelled for life
cancelled like a six  
p.m. flight

hey Mo you can't get around  
looking so
flat
you just got to get off that
cancelling
mat

don't let that cancelling
get you
down
cause I don't like looking
at your downcast
frown
  
yeah a smile is the

wear
that'll show them

502 Bad Gateway
it is patently obvious that the HP site's server
isn't functioning
well
as the 502 Bad Gateway notification
does regularly
tell

the webmaster hasn't yet repaired
the faulty connection at his
end
and in not doing so he's losing many
a poetry writing
friend  

with the ongoing problem
being left
unresolved
how can his ill attention to the matter
ever be
absolved

sooner rather than later the poets
will desert the
place
for they'll grow tired of the message
constantly hitting them in the
face

Rain's Salvo (Tanka)
a dark band of clouds
massed in the northern skies
late this afternoon
they threatened rain's salvo
however it didn't happen
Biden begins to feel the gelid winter air/
for his polling numbers aren't so fair/
the people of the country did opine/
his leadership isn't all that fine/
hence our disappproving despair/

they were in need of administration flair/
which would bring urgent repair/
yet none was on offer in his mine/
Biden begins to feel the gelid winter air/

our hopes our dreams of sunny alair/
being an unmaterialized affair/
his policies falling short in twine/
like that of a poorly directed vine/
his current percentages lowly of stair/
Biden begins to feel the gelid winter air/
Rondeau

A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the same metrical length).

Wish
be careful what you wish for
as you just might get
it
and after a while you'll certainly
regret
it

the Democrats had their wish
granted in
full
they got a dream team who were
possessed of supporter
pull  

yet now the team seems to be
falling
apart
somehow they've lost that
unity of
heart

with the relationship being on
the
rocks
how can the beleagured Democrats
recover from the
shocks  

the President and the Vice President
the much wished for
ideal
has so regretfully waned
in its
appeal

be careful what you wish for

it
and after a while you'll cretainly

Pfizer's Warehouse Door
Pfizer's share price has quite
literally gone through the
roof
as investors are cashing in
on the dividend's
proof

no doubt there's plenty of
money on
offer
when Pfizer sells more and more
vaccines for its
coffer

to bring the profit margin
a helpful
elevation
Pfizer says we'll need a third jab
in each
population
  
there's been a boom
on the stock market
floor
since Pfizer has rolled vials

how can I get that sort of money in my

I wonder if Elon Musk could loan me some folding

One Point Five Degrees
in the year two thousand and thirty
Desmond was expecting a rising temperature
of one point five degrees
so he scampered outside to sit in a
cooler southern breeze

but much to his surprise the temperature
wasn't as hot as that
therefore he wasn't in need of a sun shading
broad brimmed hat

the horrendous predictions that were made
at COP 26
didn't appear to be in its temperature
mix  

he thought unto himself how could
climate forecasters get it all so wrong
thence he rushed back inside to dress himself
in a woolen coat which was ankle length long
