In its Grip!

Snippets, in 3 lines ...

It's Disquietude,

this feeling of foreboding

that grips us these days.

.  .  .

An Anxiety

coming from beyond ourselves,

encompassing us.

.  .  .

A strange Loss of faith

in Norms we've take for granted,

now slipping away.

Woah, such strong feelings for anxiety and well explained. I felt this! I was happy before I read that poem, you made me anxious!
Also cause English is not my native language I had to look up the dictionary, I've learned some great words!

Thank you for sharing!

A trio of senryu. Powerfully delivered and sum up well the current political climate. Foreboding is an excellent description of how I am now viewing the world, along with many. I sincerely hope it is a temporary feeling. Well done Dylan. All the best.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated!
My Mother's favorite expression for hard-patches was, "This too shall pass." ...and they always did. Let's hang in there :)

I know the feeling. The norms I have lived by in my near eighty years are all up for grabs. Of course, the powers that were are not the powers that be. I hope these current ones will soon pass. ASAP.

I hope so too JB, but Trump'sBunch is talking a 3rd term. (Damn, how long can a guy who lives on junk food and his only exercise is switching TV channels keep going? :)
