BIDEN OUR TIME

PoeArtry by Dr. Charles Frederickson & Saknarin Chinayote


Wunderkind stutter nonsense tongue untwisted
Shoots from lip taking on
Drug companies HMOs oily motives
Speaking – and speaking – his mind

U.S. Prime sizzle at stake
Mixed Grill marinated mutton skewered
Same Old Shish kebab leftovers
Shorn woolgathers’ naked untruths exposed

Kid gloves removed brass knuckles
Never shying away from prizefight
Subtle sparring jabs uppercut punches
Going for McBush jugular knockout

Humble roots soil shaken off
VEEP transplant 4N policy expert
Embers rekindling fire of idealism
Phoenix rising igniting eagle-eyed Hope


The dynamic duo of always toptimistic upstARTs, Charles Frederickson & Saknarin Chinayote edit AvantGardeTimes.com, an eclectic cosmopolitan poeartry quarterly EZine.
