Poppy PodsI ponder nature’s capsules -
living miracles,
dormant and appearing lifeless
yet chockfull of
wondrous possibilities.
I ponder political promises –
dynamic seeds
replete with wealth, success,
happiness and poof!
disappointing hocus pocus.
I ponder political rumors -
robust germs
alive with exaggeration, fear,
and malicious lies.
Is this democracy?
