President Donald Trump will not concede
Sure Biden lost, and he was in the lead
Demands a recount;
Says it's a miscount,
Not to mention the bizarre tweets he keyed

So should we start at least another slogan
Who we want is one more Clinton again
Who presidential things already did master
When our economy had been in a disaster.
Once were chickens and jobs in very pot
And it made no difference whether or not
Which State was your current residence
How flat is field or forest now is dense.
Everyone here and there in our entire nation
Were all giving Clinton a standing ovation
About how glad with things they had become
Equal distributed and everyone owning some.
Why would President a Republican want to return
While for a Democrat we continue to yearn
Florida votes finally Republicans had to pad
With a miscount caused by a hanging chad.
Pause for the Cause
Should Patriots be prepared to take a pause
When they commit crime for Patriotic Cause;
Now all of my fine friends have no fear;
Should have heard what I said to my Dear.
With footballs there are an abundant supply
Along with what could be called a white lie
That are never as fun as each darker one,
So I count them up when each day is done.
Maybe might miscount and should suppose
A much longer length will become my nose;
For sins in school you shall be suspended
Even if long, elegant nose was extended.
With my footballs did some tap dancing around
And to be under-inflated some soon were found;
Further fraudulent football facts we must face;
If over will fluctuate and float into space.

a beautiful thing
butterfly whispers a kiss dreamed
gentle breeze blowing
~~~
in soft wrinkling hands
in the graceful age of time
in wisdom shared
~~~
echos softening
star fruits glistening in the night
i still hear you there
~~~
written words of love
passions etched deep into soul
timeless in the hand
~~~
golden lotus opens
universal transcendence
illumination
~~~~~~~~~~
if I miscount my syllables, please do let me know, still working on it. xo
these for me are really difficult! I praise you Haiku Masters in here!
