The Politician (Albert's Poetry Cafe 10/40 Challenge)

The challenge put forth was to use these ten words: dress, power, smiling, titles, outsiders, flashing, handshakes, smoked, pestilence, and whistles,amidst a total of 40 words all together. Not too difficult. The idea came quickly. Given words are in ital

Hopeful manner of dress brought power,

He: smiling at those with titles, frowning

At outsiders who can't vote- unimportant heathens!

Flashing handshakes everywhere, darted

Amidst whistles of mudslingers' bombs

 

Meanwhile: Pestilence smoked cigars

Grandstanding in the background, admiring

His muse

 

 

 

Author's Note
