Given a challenge by Sheppard to write a poem for Sarah Palin, and a boring afternoon meeting, I should like to submit:
Haiku Sonnet For Sarah Palin
The Palin fascination
Infecting the news today
Really does boggle the mind.Is she Nemesis, some way
Causing POTUS frustration
The very First Teeth to grind?Yet when she enters the fray
Her words are pointed, but kind
Lacking recrimination.And so should she courage find
Election devil to pay
To halt a sinking nation,The class warfare wounds to bind
And racial fragmentation
Refocusing liberty,American elation
At last will ‘hit the rewind’,
Ejecting ‘Chicago way’.Hence all the trepidation,
The falsehood and the dismay:
Visionless know they are blind.
