He calls himself “fashion poet”,
One or two others know it…
In pursuits
Avoiding lawsuits,
He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!
–
Him being man and all,
Must carefully judge his call…
With less passion
Than stereotypical fashion,
Not being the Beast at the ball.
–
Gender matters to him,
Especially if women…
They’re the kind
He most has in mind,
Do they mind if he tiptoes in?

Some observations please,
In the midst of all the sleaze…
Republicans say
“Trump…AWAY.”
Wanting to bring him to his knees.
–
Last I heard an report,
Democratic campaigners were FOUR…
Obama, his wife,
Bill, Hillary and V.P. strive,
All on the campaign tour.
–
Other than Gov. Pence,
Trump has no supporting defence…
Mean-spirit guys
Won’t lift their eyes,
Or do anything for Trump hence!
–
Your Convention really meant naught,
In selfish cruelty caught…
You’re saying “Go to Hell,”
To the people as well,
Acting like you’re Hillary bought!
–
It’s the hissy-fit people I implore,
FOR ONCE..put your egos out the door…
He’s not from your camps
But give him a chance,
In taxes we’ll always pay more!

(An Opinionated Poem)
(One Poet’s Opinion)
–
American stars and stripes,
Wave in fading light…
Spotlights glow
So we know,
Out flag is doing alright.
–
As for the country we cringe,
What is the next freedom impinged…
Ignored laws unliked,
Disapproval spiked,
The Administration acts unhinged.
–
And our leader of the free world,
Hates the country where he’s raising his girls…
They’ve openly proved
Suffering leaves them unmoved,
Unless there’s a news crew to twirl.
–
The “Change” is here,
Reaching for freedoms held dear…
Does what he likes–
Avoids open mikes–
Eventually his plan was made clear.
–
The ultimate patriotic sin
Is to tear us down from within…
Conquer-divide
While goodies are eyed,
The rest of us thrown in a bin.
–
The problem is, both sides
Seem to have similar prides…
Quietly taking
From upside-down shaking,
While laws are broken–each abides.
–
Who will call this to task,
Doesn’t seem to be any to ask…
Will any act
Or all are in fact
Willing to put we voters dead last?

PERMANENT SLAVE CLASS
(An economic opinion)
–
Raising the Minimum wage?
The “Progressive’s” constant rage…
You will not progress
Because of largess,
The Liberals have you caged!
–
Do you want to do this for life?
Letting those in power knife…
Your improvement
Of yourself–that went–
You’re being kept down for their strife!
–
Why is a President proud,
Of increased violent crowds?
While he plays
Golf most days,
Partying often and loud?
–
It’s because he basks in power,
Liberal prospects tower…
Deceive you they will
And send you the bill,
And if you question–glower!
–
I really wish I could side
On the other political divide…
But conservatives too
Want goodies from you,
Watching their vowed principles slide!
–
Opportunities are out there,
Be real–stop beating the air–
Striving break free
Of given slavery,
If you won’t save yourself—who really cares?
–
Lucky to get a full-time, TAKE IT,
Work really hard to make it…
Caught at the bottom
Prospects are rotten,
Your human dignity–RETAKE IT!!!

HONKIE HAIKU

His poor heart is crushed
She doesn’t say much when rushed….
His chances are mush!

“SLINGING SLANG”
–
Hispanic…gringo,
Nipponese…round eyes,
On the streets…HEY, YOU!
–J.E.C.
–
HOW DO YOU DRESS?
–
“She ‘s dressed like a Pentacosal,
“In Puerto Rico,” is that hostile?
Culturally
Clothing we see
Defines by impressions on file.
–
In certain enclaves, the U.S.
Person in the know needn’t guess…
Cultureal norms
Take normal forms,
Identity by one’s dress.
–
Unmarried, married, religion–
All information given…
In a society
Certain ways seen,
So few try the unforgiven.
–
In this country culture-wise,
It’s harder to believe the eyes….
Difference subtle–
Free choice’s rebuttal–
Of what were once accepted lines.
–
Ssome communities hang on
To older ways upon…
Which insiders
Are made wiser
By telling who’s avalable to spawn!
–Jonathan Caswell
