" Blunt Pleas "...

" Blunt Pleas "

Blunt pleas grips
tightening last ditches
as needed for passage

on the brink
deeply threatening
escalating invectives

precluding diplomacy
taking a knee
becoming clear

albeit re-routing
instant messaging
gale-blasted ramifications

poorly handled emails
major embarrassments
reigning failures

rolled-back actions
media trolls taking tolls
fleeting unity

arms linked
addressed
on twitter
tweeting
athletes
league
swagger

turning points
for travelers
preying mantises

planted allium
streams of lavender
tulip parrots

vigorous lace-caps
wonderfully aromatic
globe masters...
