FINAL DAY OF SPRING 2020
a morning visit —
the red cardinal inside
its outside upside-down world
6/19/2020
So: Are you resolute to resolve to resolve to be resolute?
Or: Do your resolved resolutions devolve into dissolution?
Millie Tarry popped a balloon
But it popped a little too soon
The sudden noise
Upset some boys
Who were blowing up The Tribune
My dad always carried a flask
But he never once wore a mask
If he were alive
I know he'd contrive
A way to walk off with a cask!
There is a notorious flirt
Who fondles beneath a girl's skirt
But some of his "charm"
Set off her alarm
"Digital Intruder Alert!"
In real-life you go to court
when you're sure you'll win the case
Otherwise, it costs too much
~ no thoughts of saving face
Election 2020
Haiku By Tom

Seems this election,
Some candidates have made plans
to tax the richest.
God did not like messing with clay
And found there was another way
Then Eve did her best
Promoting incest
And what a mess we're in today!
The hunk who is heading your way
Is not hoping you want to play
He just wants your phone
So all that you own
Is his at the end of the day!
Trump has made a firm resolution
To investigate prostitution
Why knock on doors
In search of whores
When Trump - himself - has a solution?
Our preacher could not find his Bible
And thought most hoarders were liable
With sin for wages
We all took pages
As toilet paper most viable
a 5-7-5 (not sure if it could be called a senryu)
In some Southern states,
nature rivaled Corona.
We worshiped at home.

If it were to happen today
When the star above so bright
How to ape those of yesterday
When scanned in an era of byte.

empty streets fading
cities remain mostly closed
drive slowly dying
helpless and upset
continue life and living
running out of food

Global warming earth’s happiness doth kill.
Deforestation strips Mother Earth’s skill.
Virus surrounds us
Hatred astounds us
Overpopulation, everyone’s ill.
Humpty Trumpty sat in the White House,
Humpty Trumpty had a great electoral loss;
All his lawyers and crooked friends,
Couldn't make Humpty Trumpty president again.
Music did not flow.
Everything false, empty, staged.
Made for the deranged.

i heard the honking of late march geese
in awe a lump stuck in my throat
while sailing high across the sky
they cheered resounding cries of hope
AP: 2nd place 2020
The loudest composer, ’tis clear,
was Beethoven - man of the year.
The Germans are proud
of music that’s loud
because Ludwig van couldn’t hear.
they've catered to crowds riotously angry
and brimming red hatted stadiums
but for wee places of worship
they're nailed shut with bullchit
it was never about safety, but ratings
20 20
double trouble
sighted- blighted
cheer-up geer-up
cression vision
given driven
twenty- twenty
1/1/20
Written word by James Edward Lee Sr
Four games in,
we don't concede,
we beat the Germans,
we believe,
history holds misery,
this new breed
bring victory.
St. George cross flying high,
We're England til we die
In 2020, Christmas was a bust -
no toys received by any lads or lasses.
The reindeer swore and even Santa cussed -
his Covid mask kept fogging up his glasses!
Written 18 Dec 2020
half-people enter
sanctuaries of prayer
precautions taken
while they are there
the words are masked
that the half-people ask
will they reach heaven
will God bend to His task
We’ve reached the time for trick or treating,
In costumes adorned for each meeting,
But Covid restriction
Considered prediction
Sad, this year no Halloween greeting!
