A fun word to say,
to play around with
Tom’s clever way
to paint that fence
Gullible pals taken
under sway while
we readers Hooray!
But let’s not cheer
when brazen leaders
prey on compatriots
use bald-faced lies,
bribes—such blatant
sly bamboozlings—
and where those fail,
stoop to reign through
all-out terror.
Carol’s poetry has appeared in over ninety literary journals and anthologies, and three chapbooks: “Out of Southern Africa,” and “Chronicle of Dog.” (FinishingLine Press) and “Of Water” Peterborough Poetry Project. Carol and husband have paired her poems and his photographs in four coffee-table books–from Africa; from India, Bhutan and Nepal; and elsewhere.
