New poem: "The Clear Day Ahead"

 

The Clear Day Ahead

 

How long will it take to straighten

out all the kinks of one’s life,

to undo all those twists and knots

that keep us from falling asleep at night?

What a joy it will be when that day

comes when we won’t have any more worries

of what we did wrong, only the clear day

ahead with all of that wisdom to keep

our day straight.

New poem: "My Transcendent Function"

 

My Transcendent Function

 

My Trumpian poems are bread crumbs

that I leave behind on the trail of my life;

not because I expected anyone to take

up this obscure poet’s trail, but just to see

where my poetry muse would take me

on my new creative adventure. More often

than not, the first one or two lines would

come to me unbidden, and with confidence,

patience, and many years of perseverance

my trusty muse would favor me with the rest

of my poem. I’d like to take credit for these

creative efforts; but in truth, the mysterious

process of creative writing still eludes me;

and all the insights that I was given into

the storied life of President Donald J. Trump,

I have to attribute to what Carl Gustav Jung

called my “transcendent function,” which

is simply the way of poetry.

Day One at the Oval Office

 

What do all of those foreign refugee migrants

want from the United States of America, land

of the brave, strong, and free if not to exploit

that great nation of every opportunity to make

a better life for themselves and their family?

But have they migrated legally to the United

States, or have they crossed President Biden’s

open southern border without regard to the law

of the nation? Why do they feel they should

be accepted by the American people when they

have not earned the right to be there? And why

would anyone oppose President Donald J. Trump

from deporting them back to where they came

from? And yet Americans, the woke-infested wing

of the Democratic Party, are willing to put at risk

and sacrifice American citizens to coddle and protect

millions of illegal migrants, many of them convicted

criminals, for no reason other than—what? What

drives those loonie lefties to turn against their fellow

citizens with their “sanctuary cities” and promises

they cannot keep? Infected by the toxic woke virus,

those pretentious social justice warriors cannot see

the harm they are doing to their great nation,

and on January 20, Day One at the Oval Office,

President Trump is going to issue executive orders

to close the porous southern border and snap

those woke fools out of their delusion.

New poem: "Gagging on Crow"

 

Gagging on Crow

 

I’m going to surmise that before the end

of the first year of President Donald J. Trump’s

broom-sweeping administration, the pernicious

woke virus will have lost its treacherous hold

upon the American mind and replaced with

the sound logic of common sense that Donald

J. Trump campaigned on to win his second

mandate at the Oval Office; and I’m going

to further surmise that there will be a lengthy

line of Trump deniers gagging on crow,

and choking on bile.

New poem: "Despite his Many Foibles"

 

Despite his Many Foibles

 

President Donald J. Trump believes in God,

despite his many foibles; a belief providence

confirmed by sparing his life twice from

an assassin’s bullet, once in Butler, Pennsylvania,

and on his golf course in Florida. And his

bolstered belief in God makes him a responsible,

God-fearing man with a conscience that tells

him right from wrong, and common sense from

nonsense; that’s why the good people of America

voted Donald J. Trump back into the Oval Office

to undo all the harm done to their great nation

by the looney progressive woke-infested

Biden-Harris administration.

New poem: "Stage 4 TDS"

 

Stage 4 TDS

 

I didn’t think I would, but I finally

came upon a case of Stage 4 Trump

Derangement Syndrome on a Facebook

repost of a Canadian journalist whose

vitriolic disdain for Donald J. Trump has

so metastasized throughout his soul

that it’s not curable; and it doesn’t matter

how successful the 45th US President

who won back the Oval Office to become

the 47t President, this respected Globe

& and Mail columnist and CBC political

pundit would rather go to his grave with

Stage 4 TDS than admit to himself, and

to his readers, that he misjudged the

self-made billionaire who was called

by the troubled spirit of his nation

to make America great again.

New poem: "A Red Line in the Sand"

 

A Red Line in the Sand

 

We live in promiscuous times

with little respect for borders of any

kind, like all those alien refugees

migrating into the United State without

permission and taking what they want

with little or no regard for the integrity

of the nation. That’s the situation Donald

J. Trump has to resolve when he steps

back into the Oval Office, drawing a red

line in the sand for all those who violate

the sacred spaces of the United States

that the last administration under President

Biden and Kamal Harris desecrated with

their sanctimonious woke agenda that so

demoralized the American people that

they voted them out of the Oval Office

and brought Trump back to make

America great again.

New poem: "Called by Providential Decree"

 

Called by Providential Decree

 

Imbued with the authority of the Oval Office,

Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th President

of the United States, is not the same man who

ran the race against vice president Kamala Harris;

he talks differently, he walks differently, and he

even smiles differently, as the world witnessed at

the grand reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral

in Paris, France. And the change that we see in

Donald J. Trump, is the same change that everyone

who’s been called by providential decree to alter

the course of human history: a light in their eyes,

a certain grace, and a knowing that whatever

they do now is not for their own glory, but for

the good of the whole human race.

New poem: "That Je Ne Sais Quoi"

 

That Je Ne Sais Quoi

 

Looking down there, at the United States,

from way up here in Canada, now that President

Donald J. Trump, in a fit of spontaneous wit,

proposed that this vast expanse of our incomparable

nation become America’s 51st State and our Prime

Minister their new Governor, I’m left to ponder,

would we ever fit? And from what I know about

the American people from everything I’ve learned

in seven decades of being an Italian-born Canadian,

I’d have to reply to the 47th President of the United

States, for all of your genius, charm, and multi-faceted

character, on behalf of my entire race (though some,

not that many, would disagree), we may be courteous,

kind, and too agreeable; but whatever it is that makes

us proud Canadians and your people proud Americans,

we would never choose to become your 51st State

for fear of losing that je ne sais quoi

that makes us Canadian.
