Poetic Musings

Poetry is a fun way to express some thoughts on current events and things I've been mulling over. Here is a response to some early thoughts about the presidential impeachment proceedings started in November.

Impeachment

Inopportune, it won’t go far,

Maniac or not, your method will only jar

Preying minds to feed on krill.

When there are bigger fish to grill,

Accelerate the hype,

Choke on tweets that come up ripe.

History has told this tale before,

May you survive the backlash roar.

Even while the death toll sounds,

Nemesis laughs and fires rounds.

Teach us all the folly of judgment.

And this nonet shares some observations I've made about aging from watching one close to me who is in the process:

Lonely. Nursing home blues, Fox News soothes

       His health took him away from her

         She mourns and misses, wishes

            Children always close by

              Helps bear the despair

                     of age's loss.

                  Musters thanks,

                        for life

                          now.
