Full Moon Nights
(APRIL-26)
The wily man is contesting polls
The wherewithal has arrived timely
Hanging that winsome smile
He’s begging for votes with folded hand
He doesn’t mind a wonky chair
Or vituperative words of the opponent
He chuckles and tames the werewolf
Within him and waits with patience
After the win he’s ready to welcome
Full moon nights that each day will bring
Posted for Marian’s prompt W word list @ Real Toads
An apt description pf prevailing Indian politics. indeed they all ate waiting for that full moon opportunity.

ReplyDeleteFull moon nights ... werewolf howling ... sounds ominous. I enjoyed this immensely.
ReplyDelete"Hanging that winsome smile" - Wow! What an image! An awesome poem about political chicanery.
ReplyDeleteOoooh this rolls on the tongue so deliciously. Great play on the W prompt.
ReplyDeleteIt seems politicians are alike no matter their country of origin...beautifully written
ReplyDeleteI liked the begging for votes with a folded hand - the same in Canada, in the States and likely many other places....sigh.
