Should stick out your tongue
When something is appalling
Like Donald Trump is.

Wingless creatures,
Walking freely,
Sharing my abode,
Out of the blues, 
These tiny miniatures,
Move randomly,
In appalling mode....

Political standards are falling
To a point some say is appalling
The Elephant said:
"You've got to wear red
And knock on their door, "Aphid calling"!...

Larry had a wart on the end of his nose
it was appalling and he saw that it grows.
He found a doc
who gave it thought.
Then slickly transplanted it to one of his toes....

Constantinople constantly can play monopoly;
They tried to prove and then apply psychology;
Latest scoop;
Known group;
Appalling to Trump always wanting an apology.

A heavy rain kept falling and falling
as the wine kept calling and calling,
the glasses emptied slickly
while her happy changed quickly...
she talked like a sailor - how appalling!...

Silence Seems So Appalling

During war while bodies were falling,
Silence of death  did seem appalling;
Never known,
And all alone;
Noiseless sound of temptation calling.

Rain Falling and God Calling

We remember when the rain was falling,
So much and God us had started calling;
Help we need,
So can impede,
And results to us did seem so appalling.

I watched the "Titanic" three times in a row already
And I now understand why the vessel had to sink.
Two people on board had sex before their wedding,
So God punished them for such an appalling sin!...

Trump and Suspences
(He never meets.)

Trump started out with several suspenses,
And he ended up with many consequences;
Always stalling,
And appalling;
Of his brain we sure should take a census.

When top-heavy Trudy went drinking

She noticed the men were all blinking

     Her low neckline falling

     Dear Lord, it’s appalling

That Trudy’s own “three eyes” were winking

his appalling stupidity
never ceases to overwhelm
underwhelm in fact
truth be told
he's a buffoon
disguised as youth
I shake my head
incredulous
it's somehow
gotten him
this far
in life

To those trying to vex me I must say, "I don't mean to be rude,
But you need to make an adjustment to your appalling attitude."

Elderberry wine
   It's a knockout, first time round
   Boxing time again



   From Ireland, Deirdre's now calling
   She wrote a Haiku that's appalling
   If only she'd waited, with words reinstated
   Her Haiku might now be enthralling...

Watch
Riposte
Spin, and then
Pique the heart ink
Diffidence showing the appalling link

Firmament encroached; caliginous stars
Ergo; all mars
With but three
Cuts to
Bone

Ah
Remise
Dip again
Ink thus imbued
Recondite quill forthwith shall be  renewed...

Two lanes are forced to merge to one
So traffic's slowly crawling;
On sunny summer weekends
Such delays are quite appalling.

For miles and miles we creep along - 
The cars, the vans, the trucks;
I think we'd all agree
That road construction really sucks!...

WE SWALLOW OUR DOUBT
HOLD BACK CONCERN
BEHIND A WALL
OF PRECAUTION
WE FAWN AND FLINCH
AT THE IDEA 
OF THIS FOREVER
THE CRIMINAL DISREGARD
IS APPALLING
WE HAVE MADE
THIS ISLAND OF DISCONTENT
WITH OUR OWN HANDS
IN THIS HELL
THE DEMONS
ARE YOU AND I.

Falling Into Trouble

What we find which is appalling
Having heard all the name calling
Result found after we did consult
Each fault will must bring to a halt
Or into trouble will be falling.

A foul stench,
A horrible sound,
A terrible feeling,
Blood surrounds.

Completely useless,
Senses numb,
Nothing to do,
You stand stunned.

It drips to the floor,
Bloody and bare,
The body hangs,
Swinging in air.

Awful screams,
Appalling sights,
Sudden silence,
Dead as night....
