Cleveland is decorated

Winter nights made bright

Factions

Abundant mistrust

Factions fighting to fracture

Lusting for power

Cast Away Your Cares

“To-do” list is checked

Let’s head to the pond and fish

Cast away your cares

Tale of the Half-Blind Watch Dog

Ink-stained watchdog
blind in one eye
Took a deep nap
and eight years passed by

When the winds changed
he awoke from the dead
He shook off the sleep
to bound out of his bed

His ears pinned back
he began to howl
All that was fair
he now sees as foul

Radiation

TV ever glows

Sounds, images emanate

Should we bask in it?

The Panicked Voter

The panicked voter

So used to getting his way

Perspective is lost

Election Night 2016

No joy on this night

I don’t like either of them

I mourn honor lost

Voted Absentee

Voted absentee

Had to use the ballpoint pen

Dignity intact

Trending on Twitter

Lies, distortions, misplaced rage

Maybe just log off
