Form construct Thunderdome seen
Inside sacred White House gates

If it wasn't for bad #judgement
They would have no judgement at all
SCOTUS one branch of government
Should ignore political call

Rooted in constitution law
Sold out now for beads and trinkets
Preconceived notions what they saw
Now obscured in shadow dockets

#quatrain #heroic #vss365 #poetrycommunity #smallpoems

Awash in a grand quantity of private torment
Only one thing matters less than my own opinions
That's opinions of others cast from the firmament
Suspiciously left to #linger around fact minions

Guéri mais pris / Healed by ridicule / 嘲笑されることで癒された #詩 #quatrain, #poésie #poeme https://gerdesilets.wordpress.com/2018/05/23/gueri-mais-pris-quatrain-poesie/

Et de ma drôle de poésie
me voilà enfin tout guéri
car vous m’avez soumis
à votre trop triste mépris

And from my strange poetry
I am finally completely healed
cause you have subjected me
to be by you totally ridiculed
.
そして私の奇妙な詩から
私はついに完全に癒された
なぜならあなたは私を嘲笑したから
あなたに私は徹底的に馬鹿にされた

Coupe Stanley Cup #quatrain #poem #hockey https://gerdesilets.wordpress.com/2018/04/24/coupe-stanley-quatrain/

il y a des joueur de hockey d’ici ,
qui toute la saison ont hiberné ,
mais qui pour la coupe Stanley ,
deviennent des tueurs en série ,

there are some hockey players ,
who all season were hibernating ,
for the Stanley Cup then getting ,
they become real « serial » killers ,

Maudit quatrain, #quatrain vilain? / Cursed quatrain, vile quatrain / 呪われた四行詩、卑劣な四行詩 #詩 #poem #poeme https://gerdesilets.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/maudit-quatrain-quatrain-vilain/

ainsi au pays de l’Austérité
le roi Profit est accompagné
par la Corruption, sa reine
et le Monde est leur scène

Thus, in the land of Austerity,
the King Profit, we always see
with Corruption, his queen,
and the World is their scene.
.
かくして、緊縮の国では、
利益の王は常に
腐敗の女王と共にあり、
世界は彼らの舞台となる。

Okay, I sing like a clown.
So to keep myself happy,
I write my nonsense down.
in the form of bad poetry.
.
ええ、私はピエロみたいに歌います。
だから、自分を慰めるために、
くだらないことを書き留めるんです。
下手な詩の形で。

monorimes #quatrain #poeme https://gerdesilets.wordpress.com/2018/03/28/monorimes/

J’aime les vers monorimes
j’en fait même mon crime
car tel des borborygmes
j’en fait de belles énigmes
