On penning ‘straight-margined’ poetry.  To Arthur Everman, right hand margins, straight, as arrow’s are a thing, of beauty.  To see them … is to love them.  Hard.  Sure.  Straight

margins, are fine.  On crafting, straight-margins.  For, the beauty of a margin … straight’s akin to, so-called … great … bodies.  Content rules, over, form’s cosmetic, straightness.

A simple recipe to lovely if not content-rich, couplet poetry:  Arrange your 280 characters (letters, spaces and punctuation).  End the first line of the couplet with (at character

140) your word to be rhymed.  Don’t worry about the algorithm.  It’s … already … in there.

CHRISTMAS 2017

A Christmas present, from Robert, to Donald, is being transcribed, and typewritten, even copied, as ye sleep.  President’s men, sleep not.  An off-white White House with men,

to match, know sleeplessness’ tossing and turning.   The Intifada is on,  no thanks to Don. Cauldrons all over a Middle East are as if afire.  And in them, (wo)men and children.

On the tallest tale, ever told.  Or, tomorrow’s … trend?  Fictional, nonfiction, interactive.  It’s what Penemue, googled Art for.  For interactive, fictional, nonfiction.

ON OSLO
Oslo, from Pyongyang, is far.  DC, is closer.  In irony, distance from Oslo, does not, matter. Mattering ironically more, is Twitter.  In twitter’s algorithm, alchemy, does … matter.
In Oslo sits a criminal court, internationally.  In, appropriately, the Netherlands, oh so far overseas, away.  Far for Don, it is even farther, for Kim.  Oslo, from Pyongyang, is far.

It’s day 342 of a Teflon Don’s, presidency.  The 76th anniversary, of Pearl Harbor’s infamy. Reminder.  This date’s apt to remind all.  In Oslo sits a criminal court, internationally.

Ongoing, criminal, organizations.  Possibly, Bob has been studying unsavory possibilities; alleging, beyond, a litany of possible, obstructions, of justice … treason … and bribery.

Treason.  Increasingly, both quid and quo ye clearly see.  And crimes against … humanity. Donald’s un-American acts against Muslims and Mexicans so un-American, allegedly.

Hucksterism; a time-dishonored American tradition’s been as if by P.T. Barnum, surreally revived.  Building, as the Don is wont to do, from failing states, only.  cc:
