Here's this place for Politics's weekly heap of haikus:

 

 

 

He is short-fingered
and a Vulgarian ... The
Odious Don Drumpf.

 

 

---

 

 

Such joy lights Trump's face
when  he sits in the board room
And he says, "you're fired."

 

 

---

 

Drumpf Bible-ku:

Two Corinthians
walk into a leather bar ...
Cite Chapter and Verse.

( Alternate 3rd line:  Gave New Testament. )

 

 

---

 

A corrupt liar
and an egomaniac ...
Oh ... and Narcissist.

 

 

---

 

Trump leads all the polls,
Marco, Ted and Donald prove
that people are strange.



---


 Ring the temple bell,
warning all the villagers
Drumpf is presumptive!



 

---

 

 

 

 

---

 

Trump the outsider,
Little Marco, lyin' Ted,
Mexican Standoff.

 

 

---

 

 

Endorsements from the
KKK, can't be be be
a good good good thing

 

 

---
 

 

 

Though Cruz took Texas
Rubio won't take a powder or
Florida either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

 

Cruz and Rubio
( plus Kasich ) fight The Donald,
but they've all been Trumped.
 

 

 

---

 

 

 

The Lads were blessed with
a genius creative elf ...
Thank you George Martin.

 

 

 

---

 

 

Watching the debate
was like watching milk curdle ...
just pray for yogurt.

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Java Jive, don't keep
me waitin', drip is quicker
than percolatin' ...

 

Late-Night Java Jive
Take a gulp on the wild side ...
Decadent rebel!

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

Back in the day, you
could easily find a bar
In the East Village.

Quintessential Blues;
I got my mojo workin',
Just don't work on you."

(Who knew Muddy Waters wrote haiku?)

---

 

Bright sunshine, warm temps,
On Amsterdam Avenue,
Swerving skateboarders.

 

 

---

 

If you find yourself,
Whistling in a dark alley,
Pick a scary tune.

 

---

 

 

 

Waiting patiently
for the next train to New York,
I read the paper.

 

 

 

---

 

 

Up hills and down dales,
I expand my horizons ...
aided by sore feet.

 

 

---

 

 

 

A wink to Winter,
a nod to the coming Spring.
I plan my garden.

 

 

---

 

 

haiku quintet:

 

Dozens of people,
walked right past something wondrous
and did not notice.

A bird, with a large
square 'bread crumb' in its beak,
ignored us all, and

kept pecking at the
chip, then picking it up and,
dropping it to break it.

I watched as it kept
trying ... Determination
was not rewarded.

And then, it flew off,
plastic square still in its beak,
Hungry and stubborn.

 

 

---

 

 

 

 The sun was stymied,
but blue skies infused the clouds,
a dark hope prevailed.

 

 

---

 

 

 

 In my solitude,
I can reach inside my self
and draw out my thoughts.
 
 

 

---
 

 

 
 
 
Humor is a salve
that can heal many wounds and
lift up hearts and souls.

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 Don't look down on the
simple joys; they allow us
to keep looking up.
 
 

 

 

---

 

 

 

Cynicism is
easy, Optimism hard.
The sky remains blue.

 

 

---

 

 

 

Quiet young ladies
sit in Starbucks and "like" their
own Facebook comments.
