Dorian blew through
Spent time in the Bahamas
Wreaked havoc on all
A windstorm like no other
Finally headed up the coast
*
President misspoke
Drew lines clear to Alabam’
Unforgivable
New Media jumped on it
Over and over they slammed
*
Dorian crept on
Ocracoke and Hatteras
Storm surge rolled inland
Never did reach Alabam’
Headed on to Newfoundland
*
President’s drawing
Still making news every day
Does anyone care
News Media won’t let it go
Trump’s sketch book making history
Our Haikai prompt from Frank Tassone today is windstorm. As we watched Hurricane Dorian take its time moving out of here, we are in awe of the damage mother nature can do when a huge hurricane moves through! In the middle of it all, the News Media made a big adieu of President Trumps home-made prediction. that it could possibly go inland as far as Alabama. His hand drawn sketch should have been taken with a grain of salt. Instead, the news broadcasts making drama will help it go down in the history books! How silly!!! This is my attempt at Renga humor about it all.

I’m drawing on your clever wit
But the wind fell out of my sails
With Trump being a fashionable artist (s)hit
Twittered on the back of his latest faery tales

Excellent wor on this piece. They should have name the hurricane Donald, in order to match all the hot air and blowing off massive steam. LOL!
But, I will agree, the media just won’t let it go. Enough already!

I have come to distrust the news as much as doctors who ply drugs –
Most politicians are full of hot air and do as much damage as windstorms…
