Trump haiku #12

it just keeps snowing

and snowing and snowing and

we need big blower!

frost fall

overnight branches turned

white

putting on

crystal

icy sweaters

frosty miracles of beauty

in the last days of

this cruel season of

relentless shiver

and now the shining flakes fall

like small white feathers

in the bright sun of day

with only the memory

of temporal perfection

in this world so marked and pitted

shoulders hunched against the cold

Reynold

hand cradles Bible

billowing words

updrafting multi-coloured parachute of love

lifts us up into his world

of convicted care

book held firmly spine traversing

life-line

and he paces our reality

our level

our fraying carpet

long strides journeying and arm reaching

to elusive uneasy truth

still cradling close to the heart

the word not as a weapon

or tightly bound static box

but

open

giving

lovely

fabric of life

we snow

we snow

Saturday flakes

wind-driven wayward souls heading

toward gravity ground and settle

bonded frozen alone one with white expanse of winter

we wait

cold hearts

stretching scarf-less necks

looking through dense drifting

for sweet flute melody of peace

we wonder

caught

in this bank of Saturday snow

when the heartstrings will resolve

into warm welcome whole note love

Trump haiku #11

it’s taking way too

long for green blades to break through

this evil concrete

Gary plays Winston

That's a lot of make-up

and that's a lot of scotch

and a lot of Champaign

and how many cigars?

an excessive man

oldman

eyes

staring down a compromise with the devil

buying time with lives

orating hearts to resolve

out-thinking ambition

and undue pragmatism

to defeat the darkness 

Roger at Christmas

with a bounce

and a hand patting couch

you joy in

ancient

angel song

dad strumming the world

and your mighty legs dancing praise

you sing along

adding your

new new voice

to the billions before

latin words snowing black ground

with white gloria

your bare feet pounding floor

so strong

so sure

            so great
