Short Hedging Poems

Dredging Trump and Hedging

For things about Trump did start dredging;
As usual his supporters had been hedging;
Is dimwitted;
Be committed;
Always doing bad things are all allegedly.

Grammar school speculators
charlatan math
trading the currency
of borrowed youth
optioning the investment
in forsaken dreams
hedging their futures
with diminished returns
margining interest
—that will never compound

Meet a man that fudges from the fence,
Little he says ever makes great sense. 
His views, all but humdrum,
That he deems great wisdom,
And he’s been hedging O for long hence.

Time, cool
moving through patience.
On the edge of suddenly,
on the brink of death.
Waiting to be born,
hedging off of expected.

The cage bird sings,
an exile to hope,
a child waits for Christmas
mornings sitting with joy.
How does your seesaw balance?
Which way does wind blow west?...

MESSENGERS 


Serene leisurely flight of dandelion weightless 
Seed puff balls,   thoughts ascending
Across the  void measureless
Between the marguerites and the hedging.


Untroubled, they silently float, glide,
Delivering the seed of an idea
On the air’s measureless tide
From  somewhere else to here....

All around
birdies bicker
cats creep
doggies dig
every evening.
 
flowers flirting,
greening grass,
heather hedging
invading insects
juicy junipers.
 
keening kin
life lost,
mournful mending
nurture needed.
 
ominous omens,
praying penitent
quietly quaking
redemption rendered.
 
sweet scents
tease, tickle
unarm ugliness
vivacious violets
 
warmly witness
xeroxed xanthous.
yonder yawn
Zany zinnia!...
