Phil Capitano Poet Senryu

Trumpeter

TRUMPETER
Sandpaper comments,
Intolerant, indignant,
White House jihadist.

UN denier,
Mega-tweeter, Putin’s pal,
Friend of common man?

Hair like swan feathers, 
Lips pursed in a brassy kiss,
No friend of Dizzy.

What Reveille wakes
Billionaire soldiers of change.
Your new president.

Anil Deo March 30, 2017 at 9:36 PM i hope u enjoyed as much as i did in reading: i can see how u have this take ... Dizzy Gillespie is quite disciplined in his jazzy rambunctiousness. Great references ...thanks PoetPC (no pun intended). Anil Deo--shalom

Red Omara February 12, 2017 at 12:12 AM Agree completely. Makes me realise there's much to be said for having a wishy washy bandwagoneering PM like we have in Oz. Phil Capitano February 12, 2017 at 7:23 AM Thanks man, living in Canada I'm afraid of how he will affect (and infect) us with his BS.

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 20, 2017 at 7:25 AM Power to truth w/this rich poem, Phil. Billionaire soldiers of change is a brilliant, perceptive line. Yeah, he promised to get rid of all the old fat cats in Washington, D.C. Just replaced them w/richer, fatter cats. Love this searingly honest poem. Love and peace to you.

Robert Pettit January 19, 2017 at 5:37 PM At one time, he owned and operated four casinos in Atlantic City. Today, none of them are in operation. Good write about someone who is only a few hours away from inauguration.
