Know The Shadow

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Those ghosts and goblins

haunting our nation cage young

children, deport decency.

~

Yet the real evil

lurking in those heartless men

remains concealed in shadow

The Shivering Willies

Posted by agarrabrant

0

It’s not the weather

that’s the source of Congress’s

sudden horripilation.

~

Let’s let those cold creeps

get screaming heebie-jeebies

from their daunting task at hand.

Creature Great but Small

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Don’t you sometimes wish

we could be as wonderful

and wise as we were at three?

~

Some folk still believe,

even though they’re not still three,

 that they’re wise and wonderful.

Sunday Blessing

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Ahh! Sunday at last!

Our momentary reprieve

from the instant news cycle.

~

We all need to pause,

recenter, find our place in

the natural order of things.

Transported

These autumn mornings

shrouded in luminous veils…

alabaster radiance!

~

Such beauty catches

the eye, transports mind and heart

to another realm.

Out Of Bounds: or Golfing The Hurricane

Posted by agarrabrant

0

When some congressmen

behave like storming morons,

we need better lightning rods.

~

If we could convince

the electorate to strike,

we’d shock’em back under par.

We, Them, and Us

Posted by agarrabrant

0

If they’d spend just half

the energy listening

spent planning their rebuttal…

~

Sadly, this is true

of all of us. As the song 

goes, “When will we ever learn?”.

Absent A Response

Posted by agarrabrant

0

When nobody’s home,

why keep knocking? Some doors will

stay forever closed.

~

Persistent pounding

on doors long since painted shut,

still supplies satisfaction.

A Poet And A Therapist Walk Into Congress

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Why paste a smile

on a sad face? Isn’t that

what circus clowns do?

~

Incongruity

between mood and affect

is often diagnostic.

Missing On ALL Cylinders

When did the Little

Engine that Wouldn’t replace 

The Little Engine that Could?

~

An Engine that won’t

run even though capable

surely NEEDS to be replaced.

More Than A Scribe

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Despite desires

to become a timely scribe,

still the pen falters…

~

 All poets falter

from time to time. Scribing is

easy but it’s hard to rhyme.

Though Not On Schedule

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Busy days make for

poemless nights, but still we’ll

never write it off.

~

In these crazy times,

how can we tell write from wrong

or distinguish fiend from foe?

Glorious Grey

Posted by agarrabrant

Sunlight still breaks through

though you can’t escape the grey

on this cloud-filled day.

~

Long awaited rain

brings the promise of relief

to parched pasture and meadow.

Barr None

Don can rest assured;

History will regard him a

“Superlative President”.

~

Extraordinary

to be sure as a heartless

wonder and a Russian tool.

If there were a prize

for temper tantrum throwing

who would be some nominees?

~

No Caucus needed!

There will be one clear winner

by the most bigly landslide.

Anything Doesn’t Go

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Some say anything

to get their heart’s desire

yet find no satisfaction.

~

When integrity

and desire intersect,

satisfaction can be found.

Last Bastions

Posted by Joan

Searching the White House

for common decency and

common sense, but it’s not there.

~

I beg to differ!

Decency and common sense

live… in The Secret Service.

When High Goes Low

Circle the wagons!

The bourgeois are revolting!

All peasants man the towers!

~

Royalty, of course,

will collect the benefits.

The peasants will never know.

…And Keep Them In The Dark

Posted by agarrabrant

Just a pile of

manure and a pitchfork is

all he needs to keep his base.

~

Is this what they mean

when they say mushroom farmers

must be great pitchmen?

Left High And Dry

I thought I saw him,

my fellow poet, but he

took his words and flew away.

~

Again time escapes!

It’s like nailing down jello…

or some other orange fellow.

Need a whisperer

to calm this presidential

bucking bronco down.

There is not enough

Xylazine on any farm

to put that nag off his feed!

A Foolscap For A Crown

Stuttering along,

singing off key, Orange Clown

makes a mockery.

How foolish must a

Jester be, to misconstrue

ridicule as mirth?

Caught Red Thumbed

This little piggy

might have to eat crow and cry

on Fox News all the way home.

~

But in his own mind

he fancies he’s Jack Horner

and our nation is his plum.

Time And Tide

Posted by agarrabrant

0

This rising tide won’t

lift all boats; it’s likely to

sink one leaky ship of state.

~

What hopefully sinks

is this ship of fools disguised

as a ship of state.
