USA
USA
Empty crucible
Once full of righteous fire
Now just grey ashes
The snake rears its head
Striking blindly at targets
That are imagined
Adopts power stance
Arms crossed - closed for argument
Pin head and big mouth

Very good.....didn't recognise the haikus
thanks Keith - I think you're right.
It's a NaPoWriMo prompt - the 3 haikus describe the 3 letters U S A as well as describe the country - I don't suppose anyone will realise that if they're not doing the prompts - but I'm really proud of this one as it brings the 2 elements together (even if I do say so myself) ?
Thanks once again for commenting
Ian
All Empires rise and fall as history records their fates. The USA will not remain in the ascendancy for much longer. They will follow the same route as the Romans and the British.
A blunt poem.
Thank you for this
Keith
