Tinker Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 pussywhipped traitor follows Isis bride in jihad death by cop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jihadi Mom leaves nursing infant to slaughter holiday party guests. New baby girl discarded, birthed to be terrorist prop. Sorry for my politically incorrect vent. This was too close to home. Terrorist attack in building where my granddaughter as an infant received assessment and physical therapy plan to train her young brain to overcome her paralysis. She is a pediatric stroke survivor, born with only half a brain and consequently paralyzed on one side.

poetjohncompton Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The second haiku was my thoughts exactly. What parent would leave a little baby... What people would do such things... Animals. Good venting! And I'm so sorry to hear about your granddaughter and that would be terrifying. Thank you for the post.

Tinker Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks MP, I've made a few changes to the tanka. I'm afraid these were originally written as a knee jerk reaction to information on the news. I've made better word selections after thinking about it. I should rethink certain word selections in the first but the original has to stand. And thanks for you comment about my granddaughter. She is 9 now, she walks, she runs, she talks, she sings. She is an intelligent, funny, active 9 year old. She just has no use of her right hand and she wears a brace on her leg. Otherwise she is a normal if somewhat kookie, little girl. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetjohncompton Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm so happy to hear your granddaughter is well and active! That is awesome news! And sometimes the original writes are the most powerful! Quote https://www.facebook.com/poetjohncompton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger11 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 A raw reaction Tink, but with such horrors, a natural one. The use of 'prop' was particularly chilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I understand your frustration, put perfectly into form. I am a very late "twitterer", and have been so enraged at my Texas legislature and executive recently....I hope things get better for your spirit.

Tinker Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Marty, Nice to see you back here. That was just a knee jerk reaction. Those creeps are now gone now and there are other things far more important and much more uplifting to occupy my thoughts and energy.~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
