Post-Election Trump Haikus


 

 

I used to write lengthy poems, and I filled notebooks for poetry courses in college.  Those were fun electives.  Now I don't find the time to divulge my poetic side as often, but this year I have been fond of haikus for their fun simplicity.

I recently typed up some haikus regarding Donald Trump's reaction to the 2020 Election results and his lack of concession.

 
Trump Haikus: 2020 Election Edition
 
Just admit you lost.
Losing hurts, but sore losers
get embarrassed fast.
 
A sore winner you
were in year 2016,
Sore loser, you’re now!
 
Biden votes aren’t fraud.
Your desperation shows now.
Perspiration drips.
 
Your scared tweets are barks,
Hark the Twitter birds herald
growls of thy foamed mouth.
 
Champ and Major are
sniffing in the White House now,
sensing their new home.
 
We learn to lose young,
when losing at a board game.
Lessons lessen loss.
