Throughout my life I have been a writer (in addition to being a stock chart analyst) and in my 30's and 40's, I wrote poems (as incredible as it might seem to you).

One of my poems was good enough to be published nationally. I am showing it here because in some ways it represents Trump supporters and what is likely to happen to them in the end when Trump is no longer around and has been exposed for who he truly is.

Read it and weep!

Dry Oasis

I fear a wintry wind on a hot summery day
Or buzzards perched on vibrant Queen Palm fronds
I dread the love songs that evoke a painful teardrop fall
Or counterfeit smiles that stab the faithful breast
I cry at lustful kisses by tainted shrews
Or with ambitious portraits the sightless draw
I cower from lonely ghosts with discontented dreams
Or penned souls that will never soar
I tremble at falsified images of purest love
Or at lifelong fantasies that erode the stainless heart
I shake with breathless fear of true betrayal
Or glorified promises built on a swampy bog
I dismay to witness speedy steeds on cemented floors
Or verdant trails glittering behind securely locked doors
I crumble at ceremonious weddings of faultily paired couples
Or whimsical goals that boisterously attest eternal vows
I weep at the dry oasis amid the lushly landscaped garden
That decries the broken dreams my mortality once endured
I bemoan the rebuilt affiliations of second-hand encounters
As the only living remnants that withstood the carnage of my soul

Good job!

I did weep. With laughter. :lamo
 
Great work.

What ever happened to "Roses are red .........

Don't quit your day lob. :lamo
 
Attacking others because they vote differently than you! Really no one cares about
this silly poem.
 
Anyone want to hear mine about a high school football game?
At least it rhymes.

On the bright side, this could be a really entertaining thread.
 
The great thing about expressing yourself with any form of art is that those receiving it may interpret your creation in their own way and it can mean something totally different to many people. Some may see it as a swipe at the right some may see it as a swipe to the left and others may see no political affiliation at all in the words.

Thank you for sharing your work of art and allowing us the chance to interpret and relate it to our individual lives.
 
Fourth Quarter Comeback

Trailing by three into the fourth quarter we went.
Would we go for the win or would a field goal team be sent.

Our fans were concerned but tried to remain calm.
But erupted in cheering for a 50 yard bomb.

Then the cheering stopped, and jaws went slack.
Because the darned officials were bringing the ball back.

We ran a draw 'cause we were running out of time.
Our tailback took the ball and roared down the sideline.

From the ten our offense took the field with mere seconds remaining.
Needless to say we passed, a call that needed no explaining.

Had the receiver dropped the ball it would've been a sin.
By the way we won, 14-10.



Note, we had to write a poem in high school and that was mine. I actually forgot the last six lines and had to ad lib.

Does it deal with a woman from Dallas and dynamite or a lady from Spain and a battleship?

Except he made it clear who it was a “swipe” at didn’t he?

He made it clear who he thought it was a swipe at. It is up to each individual to interpret those words for themselves. Once an artist puts out a work he is no longer in control of how others see or feel it.

He actually posted it in a thread and, when it didn’t draw throngs of accolades, he made a thread out of it with anti Trump title as bait.

"Clickbait". On a discussion forum thread. You should try for less misunderstandingisms of vocabularizationing.

Ah, fair enough. No need for the “click”.
