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.

 

Composed in Tiny Beaches,
