DUG HIMSELF A HOLE
HIS OWN BALLROOM WAS HIS GOAL
DESERVES LUMP OF COAL
THE HOUSE TELLS TRUMP NO
THE SENATE ALSO NO GO
IS A MAJOR BLOW
TRUMP ISSUES AMAZE
PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO RAISE
MUST BE IN A DAZE
BOONDOGGLE BALLROOM
BILLION DOLLARS, MANY FUME
REPUBLICAN DOOM
a king’s gilded wing
Victorian vanity~
billionaire’s smug waltz
If the POTUS needs big ballroom -
perhaps he should speak to his tailor!
His tie knotted tight at the collar
pinches the neck, he’d love to holler
Her corset pulled tighter than a drum
she’d like to scream, but can only hum
No sacrifice too great, who worships fashion
midnight hour aches and pains ~ faces ashen
.
I think it wuz the warmth
uv her hamstring
or maybe
her tilt back
and mine nervous
latch
at hern arch
i
i don't
I remember though
the kiss
and it
Look around the ballroom,
it's laughs and gossips from all walks of life.
Where one confesses their love,
While others meet "the one" for the first time.
Brighter than the lights that aglow,
There's a romance in the mood,
More soft and beautiful than a rose,
The love for life is in full bloom.
The younger ones chatter,
Their eyes talk with subtle hints of glee,
The older ones dance and smile
The hopes of new beginning floating in the breeze.
Maybe it's the way candlelight dances
Or maybe it's the warm breeze,
The happiness which is overflowing today,
Is surely a beautiful miracle indeed.

The Brevette, created by Emily Romano consists of a subject (noun), verb, and object (noun), in this exact order. The verb should show an ongoing action. This is done by spacing out the letters in the verb. There are only three words in the poem.
For this contest all 3 words must start with the same letter.

Here on the dance floor ready to begin.
My turquoise sequined gown
just meets my shin.
I love the feathered boa that
encircles my neck.
I look as stunning and bright as
moonlight on a ships deck.
And you, yes, you my Prince of Dance,
so divine.
With lifted, chin, suave hair,long tailed
tuxedo and on your back, number nine.
We will do each step, swirl with touching,
utmost, regal elegance.
And after we win the trophy, we happily
shall indulge in divine decadence.

~ I love to do these 2, including Yoga~
Ballroom dancing
Big bands, Hollywood glam
Chiffon decorated dance floor
Men were gentlemen, women were ladies
Decent formality
And etiquette
Stardust
the ballroom dancers
pirouette like tornado
divinely waltzing

My dear, have no fear,
For we shall all cheer.
Your perambulations and oscillations
Shall rouse the nations.
Their national anthems played.
The judges' scores displayed.
Remember it is only a dance,
So give it a chance!
