Shred constitution
corrupt justices run rapid
Judge breaking the law

We are witnesses
Court actions, of what we saw
Feelings both sides, raw

Incognito news
Statements matter of fact truth
Don’t ruffle feathers
BLT webster’s Word of the Day challenge
Incognito 6-8-24
Your true identity is kept a secret, using another name to hide who you really are

Three consecutive haiku
Each answering the previous questions or thoughts
I don't want to spread any gossip, because I'm not that kind of person, but once someone on HP ghosted me, but I'll never ever tell anyone who it was, and you must never tell anybody that I told you that. Pinky-promise me.

Let the guessing games begin !
Her phone in California rang
So late one Friday night
Her lover was in Tennessee
And things weren’t going right.

He said can you get on a bus
And come to meet me here
And when I’m done drive back with me
If not I’ll shed a tear.

She said “I will” and set about
Scraping up some dough
She only had a savings bond
But how far would that go

Moxie was her character
So she got on a bus
And cashed the bond in El Mirage
Without too big a fuss

A lesser lass would not have tried
To make that daring trip
But moxie-Lou could not be stopped
When she was in love’s grip.

She made it clear to Tennessee
And met up with her beau
And they drove back to the sunlit coast
That’s all you need to know.

Keep repeating the lie
Until the lie becomes the truth
Rumor mill working on overtime
innuendos media gossip

When every network and
the White House Regurgitate
The exact same thing word for word
Something shady is a foot

Teaching a section on job preparedness
A narcissist student puts down others to make herself feel more superior.
So much so she creates tension in the class

I pulled her aside and said “you need to treat this classroom like it’s your job.”
She said” I know how to act at work”
She landed her dream externship

She lived across the street. walking to work
Externship 14 Business days 80 hours
Management started hearing hellacious gossip but wasn’t sure the source.

A young lady came in for an interview,
my student said”I know her she’s gay.”
The manager heard what she said
“ we have a zero tolerance policy”

Manager: “I am interviewing this candidate, and that cannot be a factor. If I hear anymore on the subject there will be consequences”

My student didn’t hear a word the manager said. shortly after The incident
I received a letter
Management terminated her externship.

They didn’t want her even for FREE.
Her dream job down the drain.
She had a hard time getting a job
that incident, is on her transcript

Perhaps she can get a job with the news
She has a lifetime of gossiping experience
She hasn’t learned a moral lessons yet
If college doesn’t fit, have a back up plan
BLT webster’s Word of the Day challenge
Gossip 6-7-24
To gossip is to talk about The personal lives of other people

I taught at a technical college, two-year AS degree in medical billing. The externship is where you go for two weeks for free on the job training and if they like you, they will hire you. I have worked out situations where a person was needed so bad they will hire The student in lieu of externship, but that usually only happens to my top 2% the best and brightest.. then there are students who don’t quite meet the master while they might have just barely squeaked by and graduated. They’re not hireable. It cost $21,000 to sit in my classroom in another $1500 for books. I take that responsibility to heart. I don’t want them to finish school and say welcome to McDonald’s. The types of grants that are available for technical colleges, you only can use once then that benefit is gone, you’re no longer eligible.

Shoreline sorrow
In the light of grey
Deep water, snowy day
As you tuck your children
Safely in bed, remember
Lake Chelan has a reputation of
Never yielding its dead
