lost in bravado
forget employing reason
boasting fortitude
be independent
of the need for bravado
absolute freedom
boasting fortitude
bravado is not real strength
time of reckoning
compassionate mind
to be flexible is peace
forget bravado
~cie~
now the notes
I combined today's prompts, did not follow either of them to the letter, and wound up with this choka/senryu. I am so done with the Braggart in Chief who is running my country (into the ground). I can only hope that the majority of voters are done with him too, and the majority of people will turn out to vote. We cannot endure four more years of disdain and deceit from this inept criminal.
Like my flow?

ReplyDeleteThank you. We're gonna need it! They're promising to be a real cluster phucque.

"compassionate mind,to be flexible is peace."Words that will linger on for some time.
ReplyDeleteTime of reckoning indeed! I love your format. Maybe I will try it some day.
ReplyDeleteI'm still shocked by the (repeated) statement that he might not give up power if he loses the elections. As if sexual assault, wasting money, bragging, calling people names, lying about lots of things, undermining the media, and more of that weren't enough.
ReplyDeleteI read that many people are voting in advance to make sure their votes can't be tampered with. I have fingers and toes (and eyes) crossed that the Braggart in Chief is booted out and locked up for tax evasion and assaults on women. I can't believe Covid didn't finish him off. He must be made of Teflon - he can't have been born.
ReplyDeleteI try not to get political in my writing, but I have had to take a stand and speak out against the idiot in chief..
