The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Again found lacking
In all clutch situations
Sir Submission kneels
bad seed germinates
abject moral turpitude
freedom's slow decay

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
You want a dollar?
Pull down your pants and holler
Internet content
From political cosplay
To shoveled opinion smut
It's a fare for all
Not fair for anybody
Kind of worldwide dare
Pummel my Brummell
Regency era fashion
sense at the rumble
peas porridge hot was
peas porridge cold rain snow in
a pot nine days old

Yesterday
she would kite a check
with glee then flee leaving me
there holding the bag
Republican ploy
Prehensile pickpocketing
Bribes so they can flee
Candidates practice
Prehensile pickpocketing
To buy elections
melancholia
of departure is the fuel
for my need to flee
No flighty Pixie
More a variety of
bone crush Brunhilde

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Déjà all over again
Risk versus rewards
Calculation
Irrational exuberance
Unreasonable expectations
Inflate
A bubble to bursting
Resounding pop resulting
Repercussions
Echoes in a regulatory void
Clipping aspirational wings
Again
Where there is confusion
There's money to be made
For sum
Little risk of a
spontaneous incursion
in this haiku form
so I made it a tanka
To fit verbose verbiage
a flurry of wings
flapping with blood soaked fury
bringing home the wreaths

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
a haiku a day
complete a puzzle or two
days start with a win
lacking rationale
cattywampus ciphering
mystical conjure
things that were true now denied
lies take corporeal form
Groupthink with a wink
Quail with the media snooze
Lest we start to think
Phrazez that Payzez
"Family is the cradle
of all the world's misinformation"

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Hefty car door slam
455 engine roars
Four barrel guzzle
Dinosaur bones from before
Buick Skylark GS growls
Time for us to talk
Rarely signals glad tidings
Harbinger of blame
The Grumpy Grandpas
In their dotage shuffle charts
Like they're tarot cards
Never mind the auguries
Reading them the way they choose

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
divided colors
suffused within light is a
rainbow recipe
I've always been one
to bang the drum slowly when
with other people
inflated prices
courtesy of insurance
makes us grin yellow
From great crimes
Comes great wealth
Following my nose
With a whiff and a sniff while
Poking as it goes

Yesterday
asymptomatic
maladies multiply with
every ad I see
highly unlikely
we'll all look back on this time
and have a good #laugh
the last showing of
the last show has been cancelled
due to faux outrage
Unpleasant at best
Has a mean streak a mile long
Rise of the dumb state

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
Hardly Socratic
Often idiosyncratic
Sometimes bureaucratic
Can be dramatic
To overblown panic
Then in full tilt manic
Confused as Satanic
With a hint of tannic
Just erie Shamanic
No need to get frantic
This is how my inner streaming stick rolls: 08/09/2024
profess lifelong love
this googly eyed romantic
done so many times
Took my Under Porch Boxster Spider
Out for a spin round town
Just to get off the web a bit
Playing the Stones extra loud
On the 8-track player
Singing "My my my
"Said the Spyder to the fly"
Great on the straight away
Right turns a bit of a strangle
Not so great on the corners
8-leg skittery slip thread
Tail spun out left to dangle
Until the toad truck came to feast
barely elected
apparatchiks plow through most
public opinions
dance with Demeter
seasonal agrarian
ritual plow play

The Daily Dread
Yesterday
a dead giveaway
is that tie is just a flag
that says you're lying
Our national prank
Day after day of pure shame
No longer funny
Body Politic
Pack of boneyard dogs howling
Cheap shots. Dirty shocks.
