Thank you, Damian, most gratefully for the encouraging kudos,

I hope your holidays have been filled with joy and laughter.
Yes, Trump is quite the iniquitous bump.

You’re appreciated, too, M’Friend! ⁓ Richard🖌

Greetings, Gus 🌿

I’ve written a few Higgledy Piggledy pieces, finding them enormously entertaining to compose, if a bit fairly challenging … which I always enjoy, too!

I
Donald Trump, what is that?
Haven’t had enough yet?
Time for some free time
That works out well

II
No crime is spared
Pushed to the brink of the abyss
When is enough enough?
Damn the whole lot

Yeah! When pronounced, comparing my English version with your Dutch version, I see what you mean by the fuller experience, and I completely agree.

“Trump’s Bloody Stump” (in Dutch)

Rommelig en chaotisch…
onze oranje man, Donald Trump,
trapt in zijn eigen valkuil
met bizarre poses.

Hij bijt zich vast in zijn eigen enkel
terwijl hij onbegrijpelijk
en dwaas
gekke uitspraken doet.

Ha-HAH! Poetry is such an endless smorgasbord of creative delight!
Thanks, Gus, for sharing some of it with me! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Many thanks, Dear Fia, for dropping by for a read 🤓

I’m so glad I’ve tickled your funny bone, and am truly grateful that you love anything about my poetry!

“Happy Holidays, Dear Poetess!” ⁓ Rascal🍷

Salutations, Peter ✨

The most basic sensibilities would struggle to disagree with your well founded sentiments of our orange tinted Potus, Syr Poet … he’s emphatically that depraved!

Thanks bushels for reading and your much appreciated compliment! ⁓ Rascal🖌

… especially the two lines,’ sticks his foot in his mouth with weird posings.” (Please forgive my combining them here for greater clarity). I noticed some differences in structure, i.e., your piece uses a 4,6,6,4 verse structure, while my double dactyl uses a 6,6,6,4 structure. Why is this? Some Dutch “foregotten lore” perhaps? Speaking of the Orange One, I have a senryu posted here you might like: “Doughy Goliath,” just a short bit of fun while I’m learning other poetic structures like Senryu and Haiku. https://starsrite.com/articles-essays/doughy-goliath/

I looked at the Dutch bits above and wish I could read them — they look like a lot of fun.

This looks very odd because my page crashed as I was typing this, so I encluded the lost part in this 2nd post.

How’s you Damian? I hacked this write to death! I like it, I hate it, LOL.
But I thank you just the same. I wanted to post something… Life is a bit busier lately, yet I still always have the craving to write and/or edit something.
Del was here for ten days this time. And it’s always too short a visit.
You take care out there, and have some awesome holiday times!

Thank you Amethyste. I appreciate your kind comment. This write was a struggle, so thank you for the note of encouragement.
Happy Holidays to you!

Hello Thomas!
This write has some good parts, and some clunky parts, I know. I’ve been all helter skelter with the transition of ideas reaching the written word. Yet I am sure we all have the lulls in our writes.
Have some happy holidays over on your corner of things. Then perhaps write something awesome, as you tend to do!

What a great word; Thrum.
The title/name I totally made up, because I wanted something different. It also helps me remember my writes, by giving them some unique titles. Yeah?
I appreciate the nod, Rob.
I hope you are doing very well and finding inspiration in your world. It’s there, amigo. Just grasp it.

Hey Fia! I had to feed my page something! LOL. I beat this write to death, and unfortunately it shows some scars! Choppy stanzas and such. But I’m moving on from it. I have a pretty good idea of what to write next. I just have to apply the time and mood to it. Soon!
How’s you?!

Thank you Thomas, again. I’m trying!

You don’t ever owe me a comment. As long as you wear my t-shirts like you do… That itself is quite a statement!
As you know, there is no specific “Tey Saree”. It’s an image from my mind wandering like it does. Which is filled by you.
I just come up with names to title them, so it doesn’t get too repetitive.
`I just had a bag of popcorn for my bedtime snack. I’m a rebel! Thats why I buy toothbrushes in bulk.

Hey, I missed you as soon as that shuttle pulled away! What a great time we had, punk!
I love you too babydoll. I’m still smitten!
