A sharp contemporary satire poem about Trump, the Reflecting Pool, failed restoration, and the absurd ritual of power, invoking swamps, ducks, tariffs, and the politics of impotence.
This made me laugh at the sheer absurdity of the imagery. 😄
“Hydrogen peroxide prayers” and “nanobubbles fizzing psalms” are wonderfully inventive lines. The way you blend political language, science, and religious cadence into one surreal scene is both playful and memorable.
Thank you so much, Jane! Yes, I have a book of poems in the making, but just the feminist ones! :))) hopefully in the next 2 months it will be published.🫂❤️ Sending hugs!
Just reporting in! It is 7:10 here so it must be 5 or 6 am where you are. Had my laser surgery today and it went well. The Dr. worked on my eye for quite some time because so much protein had built up. He said that now that I had this laser treatment I should not experience any more related issues. He said that about 30% of clients have this happen!! So I am home and will be resting for a while then eating and maybe reading then to bed!!
You are so clever with the truth‼️Kudos‼️❤️
Thank you, Nan! 🐸🤗
It truly is a reflecting pool of corruption and evil.
Thank you, Mila!
