Senryu/Haiku Trilogy; Dump Trump, 2

Bird deaths from climate
change will make Rachel Carson’s
spring silent again

Trump’s denial of
climate change is worse than his
treasonous phone calls

three billion coal mine
canaries have died; when will
we listen to them?

Senryu/Haiku Duet, Dump Trump

Trump in the White House
is like barbecue sauce on
vanilla ice cream

sharks in a frenzy
White House lawyers covered up
treasonous phone calls

Senryu/Haiku Duet, Trumpageddon

Trump’s Quid Pro Quo
I don’t get no Biden dirt
You don’t get no aid

Republicans
either believe in Truth
or believe in Trump

Senryu/Haiku Duet, Good Bye Trump

stupid voters plus
arrogance plus extortion
equals impeachment

there is a cancer
on Trump’s Presidency and
it must be removed
