I love the blue bird and yes he does look like Trump. I am always in awe at the talent it takes to write this form. I'm way too wordy.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great week and God bless, mike.

Oh my. The selected artwork and words work in harmony to bring a fun retreat from a campaign that is heated. It is going to be a long one and offers plenty to write about. Best to you with the entry.

Thank you Jean for your review and it appears to be an interesting campaign never dull in the States by the look of it. cheers Christine

Comment from Brett Matthew West

Well written, with a touch of humor thrown in for good measure also. Donald Trump may actually surprise a whole lot of people. Mickey Mouse remains my candidate of choice though. Never let me down before.

God help us if he wins. I'm beginning to think the comb-over is a huge cow-lick. The bird is much cuter. At least the humor in politics this year is keeping it from being so serious.

Thanks seaglass for having a read and giving me a review . I don't think he has a chance in .....to win but makes for good fun to write about the comb over is awful lol Cheers

reply by seaglass on 15-Aug-2015

One comedian commented that if he wins Canada will have to build a fence to keep Americans from fleeing there. lol

reply by the author on 15-Aug-2015

Ha that is funny look our Canada no wont happen lol

reply by the author on 16-Aug-2015

Ha Ha I don't think the Great Wall of China could keep them out lol

reply by seaglass on 16-Aug-2015

I'd climb that one too, to avoid the catastrophe he would put the USA into. lol

Lol

I cannot imagine him winning. I think if that happened many Americans would flee or he wouldn't last long. I actually think selling him might be a good idea. I wonder if anyone would pay a penny or two? Your choice of artwork is quite cute. Your poem is almost as funny as his combover. I love it. Best wishes in the contest.

senryu (trump it up)

I like your senryu, it is simple and to the point. You did a good job with the syllable count. I like the picture you chose, it goes well with the poem. Good luck!

Thank you Gypsy Blue Rose. Despite the content I hope I did justice to the contest rules and had fun thinking this one up. With thanks and Cheers for you time to read and review Cheers

Comment from Benjamin Valencia

Good

Hmm. Good try for this Senryu. The humor flew a bit over me. It's good you included the notes to get the gist of this. The comb over was good. Good luck in the contest. Cheers.

Thanks Benjamin.for reading and reviewing this Senryu. I couldn't find a photo of Donald trump with his comb over to help tell the story, so perhaps without that if may have difficult to get my meaning Sorry, but I appreciate your time and comments just as much.Cheers

Excellent

Hair dresser nothin', the guy needs a hair transplant or a shot of Rogaine, LOL. He could also use a personality, that never seems to hurt when it comes to Presidential candidates.

"Interesting candidates" is an understatement for the clowns we currently have on parade. Bring on the clown cars, call out the elephants. It's gonna' be a circus!

Funny...good luck! ;)

Hi Dean ? I take it you are not a Fan lol From where I sit , he is a bit of a turkey and his comb stand out like a peacock ha ha,I seriously don't think he has a chance in a million. But he makes good poetry material if nothing else. Thanks for your time and support Cheers

reply by Dean Kuch on 15-Aug-2015

Nope, you're right about that. I'm not a fan of any of our prospective candidates to be quite honest. I'm writing myself in on the ticket. I don't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of being the next president, but at least I'd be voting for someone who's served their country, and has some semblance of moral standards, lol.

You're very welcome. ;)

I'm not even American but that comb over allusion gave this away. 'Trump' is another. Certainly you have a lot to fear. Love your sense of humour and the cleverness of this poem. Best of luck. I suspect you've tapped into a rich vein of interest and worry among your countrymen.

Hi mfowler . No I'm not American either so took a bit of Liberty with this one. I always find the American election interesting as they always come up with a few ' interesting ' candidates and politicians are fodder for satire at times. I appreciate your time and comments . a bit of tongue in cheek Cheers

reply by mfowler on 16-Aug-2015

Hi Chrissy710
I just saw how your great little poem ended up. Deserved so much more. Being from just over the border in Adelaide, I've always found any attempt at ironic humour about American politics goes over like a flat soufle, despite your best efforts to target someone or thing that is unpopular with Americans. Perhaps we just don't see it up close enough.
Regards
Mark

That's Ok Mark perhaps they don't see it as funny as we do in Aust but thans anyway Cheers Christine😃

Men's wigs and combovers stand out a mile away to me, and I can see Donald Trump's from across the pond (I'm English). :-)

I WILL be 'offensive' (re: your 'description') and say I can't stand the bloke, and his hair lack-of-style is a laughing stock.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray
