Happy Haiga Day!

After seeing what I refer to as "the push heard round the world," I dug up this illustrated poem that I hadn't posted before because I had grown tired of posting poems of repugnance and recompense.

The repugnancy, unbelievably, continues to increase, and really, some sort of payback is necessary for all the damage done to our country's reputation. If you saw the video, you couldn't help but note that the featherless peacock looked clueless standing in the crowd of legitimate leaders.

The Emperor

Respect
is not a suit an emperor
can have tailor made.
The nakedness of
his insecurity
results in barely
suppressed giggles.
Giggles lead to guffaws.
And where might
guffaws lead?

  1. Perfect, Diane! I love your very descriptive phrase: "the push heard round the world." It's so disturbing that Angela Merkel pretty much said, recently, that Europe can no longer count on the U.S with Trump in charge.

    1. We've lost all respect and standing with the rest of the world. Using one of his favorite Twitter expressions, "So sad."
