849 - Potus, the Hamster.


Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are: tearful, unsteady and abrasive.

Abrasive and loud,
Yet it seems to work for him.
What is he thinking?

A giant ego
With an unsteady mind and hand—
Could push the button!

A power junkie—
This could be the tearful end
To a beautiful world.

  6. For centuries (possibly longer) we have had Lemmings attitude with regard to politics happy to swarm over the cliff into disaster following trumped up leaders thinking only for themselves. I don't think many poets are leaders of nations...more's the pity.

  9. Oh this HAS to be Donald Trump. I cant believe a caricature is running for office and that people are actually supporting him. If he wins we can kiss our collective asses goodbye.

  10. Can I guess who this is about! Especially with the title....so many in politics have this attitude....'I can change the world to my making and liking; do you know who I am!'
