Best Trumped Poems

April showers bring May flowers and weather breezy
This year April snow has brought us all to our kneesies
What the hell...
Something smells
Must be Trumpie, disturbing the scheme of thingsies...

There was a possibility of snow.
I looked out on a chilly white scene,
reflecting that extremes of weather are 
matched by extremes of political fronts.
	The season hangs its head 
		under a burden.

Out for a walk with 'Duke', I ducked
under snow-laden branches,
but it was the beast of...

En-trumped

There are many en-tities. Narrative psychologist speak of living and telling 
a story. Our lives should be as we en-live them and en-story them. We tell 
our tale as we see it, at the moment over time, oscillate between the future, 
past and present and...

ATTENTION READERS:
In the interests of full disclosure, our recent sightings of Humpty-Dumpty were reported on social media. In addition, the most reliable eyewitness happened to be an illegal alien, somewhere in the South. We cannot divulge that alien's exact location, for obvious reasons, and for...

oh my lord a story so stark
familiar hoof marks stab at a monarch
do what you must
passion will always trump lust
donald will not draw my ballot mark...

Sudden awakening that day
A landslide from inside
Expelled
Deep resentments built for years
Tapping into fears
The day reason died

Dystopian awakening that day
Tyranny unleashed by choice 
Willing
Votes for disruption 
Volcanic irruption
Anguish given a voice

Rude awakening that day 
The suddenness of realisation
Transformed 
Promises on the hoof
With no basis in truth
A...

I 
don't need God today,
just a pitcher of water
a couple rays of lemon
chilled in the fridge
to heavenize 
the lips,
Such a simple thing
a glass of chilled bliss,
No, I don't need God today,
but tomorrow may be different. 

Is it blasphemous,
for telling a simple truth
for this little treasure...

He thought he was king of the pack
And told all his team he'd be back.
But what a kerfuffle
When after the shuffle
He found he'd no ace but a Jack!

I don got nothing but terrible
reviews bruited about
dip pressing field day
me (Lothario wannabe) 
trumpeted execrable lout,
a garden variety baby

boomer father without doubt,
his own shameful paternal
shenanigans cavalierly he did flout
dwarfed teapot dome scandal,
thus one look no further,

or send out a scout
herewith infractions distilled,
though personally, I strongly...

Trumped

Welcome to our Wonderland
Where polls and politics abide
Our elves will take you on a ride
Where you will meet the Prince of Darts
Who tolerates the Queen of Hearts
and ladies in waiting if they aren’t fat

He seeks to overthrow the Queen
with Trumped up charges repeatedly
Then truths will...

No secret the Don did abrogate,
his strict ban barring employees to acclimate
themselves, to live within United States
legal tender, and accommodate
themselves comfortably anonymous,

though "NOT FAKE," but accurate
reliable, trustworthy, et cetera
resources who did activate
my awareness, his hired hands receive adequate
pay, (perhaps greater than minimum wage),

despite the fact...

Trump now loves rhyme, its integral
to his existence as his name 
rhymes with so many words so well
and words that qualify his fame,

There’s flump and rump and also plump,
then’s sump and its close cousin, slump
and not forgetting grump and dump
all lumped together form a chump
And...

every day 
the fear of the fall out 
because this party sucks 
and never plays the music right...

Sometimes it can be very painful,
    Or just plain embarrassing to admit.
When an icon fails to reach the pedestal,
    And their fraud is hard to acquit.

The effort involved in this fabrication,
    Took decades to sharpen and...

Who would have thought Teresa May
Would ever make a nation sway
A snap election she did call
No one thought she'd have the gaul

Denying that she ever would
Everyone knowing that she could
She often comes over as being strong
Perhaps she has this one wrong

Counting down till the eighth...
