2016 OctPoWriMo - #2

The Void

The void,
Bring it on.

Merciful emptiness
In political arenas
Opens three rings
For lion tamers
high wire acrobats
dog & pony shows.

Let them fill
the void.

  1. I read it several times, so much packed in to open and think about. Glad to have you writing with us for OctPoWriMo!

  2. I like the poem. A couple different ways to read it...both amuse me. Either you're wishing the political madhouse gone or welcoming it for pure entertainment value. Poem made me smile no matter how I looked at it. And I appreciate poems I get 2 meanings from.
