Bad Poets for Bernie

I am the droplet
Alone
Landing on the beach
The earth moves
A wavelet collects me
I feel stronger
Surreal
Surrounded
Aware
Aqueous horde
Drawn away
Farther
Faster
An empty coast
Deeper
Taller
Crashing
Thrashing
Disaster's horizon
Washed away
Solidarity

I am alone
it's crowded
a sonic boom
punctuates
oohs and ahs
a shriek
I laugh
I feel the Bern
boom
boom
and an
echo
of a
boom
then the air
fills with
hundreds of booms
and
the park
empties.

How I yearn
to feel the Bern
A Sanderstorm
is better than an earthworm
oh wait... that doesn't rhyme
alas, I'm out of time

I wrote a haiku the other night in Manny's thread asking about woo me with science that started with a poem.

Yours is much better!

The result of greed, to many in need
Promise of hope, hang on and cope

To big to fail, your stash will pale
Dollar to dime, you're wasting time

The message is clear, their weapon is fear
Crowds keep growing, their weakness is showing

They say he's wrong, and doesn't belong
It's just their turn, to feel the Bern
