Rash from Crash and Back Lash

Trump does have a rash
which caused stock market to crash
from all the backlash

wish Trump would cut crap
crashed when he ran off the map
facing one more rap

Trump seems so scary
is insulting and very
at cemetery

crippled or goner
degrade Medal of Honor
which he had demeaned

Trump stories provide
he had always lied and lied
full of much self-pride

Shock Waves Lash the Shore

  It’s high tide worldwide
    shock waves lash the shore
  America’s gone socialist
    Russia revels in Soviet mist

    like a mouse up against a lion
  Ukraine’s out-growled Putin two years so far

Time, a sieve for palpitations created 
By the language of the heart.

Submitting To the Lash

In 7th grade we took
some personality tests
- they were intriguing.

I’m a hustler
- the very opposite of a
procrastinator.

projects early, impatient
to sandpaper issues.

It’s calming to
know why I stress - it helps me
navigate my fears.

While my friends are panicked
that SAT testing time is here
- I did mine last year.

It’s easier

More Closed In and More Will Lash Out

The more that Trump can
Feel closed in on the more he,
Will like to lash out.

Batted them in pageant sashes.
With a cig in her mouth.
Until one lash fell south.
Then that lash went up in ashes.

Lash

Trying to dig it out
Whatever it is 
A lash, an ash
A sliver of glass?

That pain so sharp
It's pierced my eye
And makes it tear
No, not cry

A pain so sharp

No, not my heart.
