Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

- Lot of Beer -

"I swear, so help me God"
The essence of a divine oath
As Supreme Court Judge
You are now a member of the "Donald Clan"
Prosecutor buried in a black hole
Why do women not have the same impact as men?

Jan !!! - Many thanks for visiting, comment and congratulations :) - hugs //Anne-Lise :)

Carolyn Devonshire December 20, 2018 at 4:41 PM Ah, so this is yours! It amazes me how people in other countries follow American politics more closely than some of us living here. I LOVE this poem and that final line put it up at the top. A first-place win for you, Sunshine. Will be sending a Soup mail to you. (Love the photo too.) Hugs, Carolyn Anne-Lise Andresen December 22, 2018 at 12:15 PM - My first time at the top of a winning list, dear Carolyn   - Thank you very much :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Gary Bateman November 13, 2018 at 3:04 PM Hello Dear Anne-Lise!! Sorry I missed this one. Yes, it is most appropriate. "Kavanaughty" is now finally in his Trump Clan Black Judicial Robe. Just like Trump in the presidency, "Kavanaughty" should have never been elevated to the U.S. Supreme Court. What a joke indeed!! I love this write of yours. And the attached picture is just perfect!! A FAVE TOO!! Cheers and Best, Gary Carolyn Devonshire December 20, 2018 at 5:24 PM Hey, Kavanaughty sounds like a description from Santa! Anne-Lise Andresen November 14, 2018 at 8:43 AM - A dirty game, Gary - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Vegter Papyrus October 25, 2018 at 3:05 PM He did it!!!! And this is justice going through cosmetic surgery...and it's the most hideous outcome with proper care. He needs a lie detector test with his robe on so we can see a Judge become the prosecuted!!! The comment below ticked me off...it's that type of thinking that propels injustice into the safety net. Please forgive me, Anne Lise!! Anne-Lise Andresen November 14, 2018 at 8:42 AM - A shame ... is all I have to say ! - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Vegter Papyrus October 25, 2018 at 3:08 PM I penned one called, 'The Violence in being Silenced...' Check it out only when you have the time. Blessings sent...

Craig Cornish October 20, 2018 at 3:57 PM You do not know that he lied Anne - no one does. It looks more like she did. Anne-Lise Andresen October 21, 2018 at 11:48 PM - There is nothing written that he lies in my poem, Craig - But, it was nice you would visit my poem for the first time since 2011 - ( "She" had nothing to win with a lie - he had a lot to win ... and he "won ") - ... hurray for justice !!! - Anne-Lise

Eve Roper October 13, 2018 at 9:48 PM It is a shame that this man has to even be mentioned, to only hear his name gives him glory... May he be impeached for the lies his proclaim and the women get the respect they deserve. My poem , "Screams No One Can Hear" was about him and Frump the Dump.. May God forgive me for how I feel about these to men.. Anne-Lise Andresen October 21, 2018 at 11:50 PM - Some people give me goosebumps, Eve - May God forgive me too - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Nette Onclaud October 9, 2018 at 1:11 PM he was so excited to get the post, blaming everyone to look ultra clean, awhh!... grreat insight, anne.. happy huggs Anne-Lise Andresen October 9, 2018 at 1:17 PM - He was ultra transparent, Nette - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Charlie Smith October 9, 2018 at 11:54 AM Fact: only assoc. justice to have all female clerks. Fact; Elana Kagen ( Obama SCOTUS nominee) first female dean of Harvard Law School, recruited him personally to teach at Harvard. What happened to rule of law, innocent until proven guilty? Sorry to disagree... Anne-Lise Andresen October 9, 2018 at 12:03 PM - Yes, you're right "innocent until proven guilty", Charlie ... but everything can change with power and money - thank you for your opinion ... we must not always agree :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

M. L. Kiser October 9, 2018 at 9:05 AM Sometimes I think there are people still living in the 1940's or even as far back as 1800's. With all that women have been through, there are still those self-limiting minds that refuse to grow. Well penned. Anne-Lise Andresen October 9, 2018 at 12:06 PM - Yes, far back as 1800's at least M.L. :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Harry Horsman October 8, 2018 at 3:12 PM Oh, you are angry, love the poem, you also are so right... Anne-Lise Andresen October 9, 2018 at 2:54 AM - Not angry, but disappointed ... over injustice Harry - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Mystic Rose Rose October 8, 2018 at 1:11 PM I'm glad I don't drink, others wise I'd look like that. Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 1:15 PM - Beer is good as hair shampoo, Pixie :))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Mike Gentile October 8, 2018 at 12:58 PM The worst for me is, now that he has shown his true colors, that he is partisan biased, I believe that his decisions will be. I agree with you totally, women are still even in 2018, not treated equally. Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 1:43 PM - Yes Mike, he has shown his color .... and it's not pretty - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Tom Cunningham October 8, 2018 at 12:27 PM What a corrupt and evil world we live in Sunshine, if you have money and power and a bunch of friends you can get away with murder. You see and hear about this all the time. Tom. Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 12:36 PM - Yes you are right ,Tom - But important to have "the right friends" ... I have no such friends ... and no money either :))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Chris Green October 8, 2018 at 8:25 AM I disagree but we are all entitled to our own opinion. It would really be scary if we could look back and see what everyone of these people, Presidents, senators, congress people and Supreme Court judges did while they were in high school and college. I k now I would be pretty embarrassed if it were me. But I guess they all figure if someone like Bill Clinton can get away with rape(3 times), then so can every one else. It is sad. Anne-Lise Andresen October 9, 2018 at 12:23 PM - Agree :) Chris Green October 8, 2018 at 3:01 PM Ok, I understand that. I just don't know what he lied about, but it's ok my friend. Like I said, we are all entitled to our own opinion. Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 11:27 AM - For me it's not about what he did for many years back, Chris ... but, to lie under oath - One need not be a psychologist to understand that the man is hiding the truth :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Vladislav Raven October 8, 2018 at 7:40 AM Hi Anne-Lise, what a world we do live in, if you have the money and the power you can do anything and still be elevated in status. What are we coming too. It can get scary the way things are actually going. Your write hits home Anne-Lise. Have a wonderful Monday. Hugs....Mike. XX Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 11:29 AM - Yes, everything is about power and money Mike ... no matter what - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Vijay Pandit October 8, 2018 at 6:33 AM His attack on senators of opposite party was beneath the post he was just elevated to. Women are majority in America..you are right Anne--Lise, they don't have a proportionate voice yet. Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 11:32 AM - Too many old men ... many should be retired long ago :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Mahtab Bangalee October 8, 2018 at 3:34 AM O' discrimination! You are the eyes of Hell! Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 3:39 AM - No, I ask a question of justice and mankind's future Mahtab - // Anne-Lise :)

Arthur Vaso October 8, 2018 at 2:33 AM This is a very sad moment in history, however a President who boasts of abusing women cause of his money and power, I guess is no surprise he appoints another abuser. I can only say I am seeing so many people stand up and speak out that normally avoid politics and this is good, we need at times to take stands, this is a dark time indeed. Thank you Anne-Lise Andresen October 8, 2018 at 3:52 AM - A dirty and rotten game, Arthur - I usually avoid politics, but this scares me - Shall we hide the truth, for money and power (?) - // Anne-Lise :)
