Best Trumpeting Poems

Friends, fellow poets and countrymen, please lend me your ear.

I will not insult that country, for to do so I’d have nothing to gain.
To be so rude would buy me a seat,...

No sooner than we set foot within said domicile
attestation to so called gentleman’s’ agreement with guile
initially infrequently, but incessantly as time elapsed Isle 
never forget (nor will spouse forgive) with rancor and rile

able faculties of body, mind, and spirit (tracing a long

We have it all
Indeed we do,
    both me and you.
The scandal crawling beneath the sheets,
     outrageous claims shouted in the streets;
the gropes, the lascivious touches, firm untruthful lies
     and only after much denial, comes...

Fast forward at least two score
Earth's orbitz round the sun

Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh
heavily pierced tattooed
donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion

twenty one marks his first full day
wherein Oval Office finally
flushed, ousted, and zapped,
whose paternal ancestry
begat genealogical...

I
I had big plans to fast and pray: Maundy Thursday
More prayer than fasting, while preparing slowly
For the evenings bible study, I a weak disciple
Neighbors played their competing loud music, as usual
Then I paused: discerning a yearning theme in the cacophony

Trumpeting Angel

Hearing the soft jazz trumpet

the rhythm of my heart

the piano notes vibrate roll and resound

his songs warm and strong rolling down 

my mind my heart let go of the...

Trumpeting future mercurial villain of history

Predicated on his paying obese sense
to Ronald McDonald patron saint
buzzfeeding his pie hole
courtesy "two Big Macs, Fillet-O-Fish
and a chocolate malted,"
he hungrily nabbed the ?Tuesday,
November 5, 2024? election
ofttimes series of unfortunate events
found him holed up
in his Mar-a-Lago Donjon club.

After demise of...
