This week’s #poetryprompt from my kidlit Rhyme Time group:

RhymeZone [the top 5 rhyming words in English]:
touch-much
above-love
give-live
apart-heart
how-now

Write a poem: each line rhymes with one of those words

Beyond callous,
a greedy ugliness
we can’t easily explain away.

All done in our name
in the end.
A haunting reality to face.

Visions of borderlines.

Everywhere
divided,
inside
and out.

Warnings
howling through history,
ignored on high.

Hey,
but it’s all to make America great again?
Never felt less so.
Shame chokes me.

Visions of borderlines.

Our ideals set on fire,
ignorance,
hatred
as a crushing policy.

Visions of borderlines.

Barbed wire
ripped through our hearts and
souls.

Young children
left
in cages,
in cold tents,
alone
at the Texas border.

Families
split up,
hearts shattered.

A legion of
liars
freaks
corrupt
twisted buffoons
enabling a reckless
dangerous fool

Torching our constitution
and the rule of law
Everything distorted
like a funhouse mirror in hell

Truth
turned upside down

Hollow,
shallow
policies.

An ugly strawman
in disguise.

No sincerity
or honesty in
your cagey eyes.

#poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #books #ebooks

Rallies
of hate

All hail the
liar in attack mode
spinning lies
for his blind
rabid base.

Haunted
by echoes
of a fascist past
out of a dictator’s sad playbook

My frank case against the #Trump presidency in 10 parts...#TheTrumpYears is a #poetic howl about living under the daily nightmare of the first #Trump administration
It’s very relevant for the horror we are living through today...
