What matters to you?
Conservation? Justice?More?
Time to use your voice.

So Happy New Year!
We will fight this together.
We need each other.

We stay committed.
What is your resolution?
Mine? Wildlife matter.

See you here, online.
I will be in the streets too,
Hopefully with you.

Good morning Haiku-song
#AltPoetSociety

Midterms are coming
President is a rapist
I follow my oath

Midterms are coming
Marjorie is retiring
ICE can duck themselves

Midterms are coming
Pedophiles can rot in hell
We support Ukraine

Government shutdown
Congress is too partisan
Nothing being done

The Senate puffs up
They vote on bills with no chance
All for the sound bites

The House does not meet
Speaker Johnson, a coward
Seat Grijalva now

Submitting my first entry into the poetry slam. #altpoetsociety

After the Collapse

In that single moment
After the collapse,
I emerged
From the path worth taking.

Wild and hard,
Long and winding,
Overgrown with roots of doubt,
Fear, defiance, and cruelty.

I can’t laugh too much
The disease has hurt near me
Loved ones here and gone.

I mourn our country
I mourn liberty for all
I cry, I don’t laugh.

Love those close to you
Fight mean and evil people
Don’t change, be humble.

Interior RIF
Plans were released yesterday
Blood from a turnip

Waiting to learn more
It’s clear, trauma is the point
Many job hunting

Our mission matters
We’re here for Conservation
Not corporations

Wildlife not wealthy
Birds, fish, endangered species
Let us do our job
October 21, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Checks and balances!
Congress is now impotent?
SCOTUS compromised.

So who can save us?
the people have the power
We rise together.

October 18th
We must march. Be present, loud
We shall overcome.

If you’re a poet seeking an outlet for your stress, your zany / sleep-deprived humor, your hopes and dreams …

Head on over to @altfampoetryslam.bsky.social and share your musings with the masses in awkward character limit imposed bites.

#AltPoetSociety
A poet (even / especially one furloughed) always stirs to a muse’s call, even begrudgingly, reaching for the light and notebook or phone with notes app in the middle of the night.

Fellow #AltPoets feel free to share here - where character limits ad a beatnik quality to your verse, gratis.

They fear our numbers
We shall not be silenced now
We fight for freedom

Yes, October 1st
Be ready, be loud, be safe.
We need you. Be seen.

Fight for country.
We must not be used as pawns
Oath, not fascism.

We are resilient
We are unified, ready
Good luck to us all.

Constitution Day
Was from signing; Convention
Not official yet

Then Legislatures
New Hampshire made it three-fourths
Constitution passed!

Bill of Rights needed
For all states to approve it
Freedoms protected

All 13 states signed
Enact 1790
We are USA!

A beautiful poetry thread
This on the heels of the EO to round up the homeless and mentally ill. Sound a bit like something we’ve seen in history before??? Again I say stop
Acting like Nazis if you don’t want us to compare you.
Hmm... how can we end homelessness?

Provide people with homes? Nah.

Improve community mental health and substance use treatment options, so they can get the care they often need? Nah.

Literally murder them? Somehow, I guess, the answer is yes.

Insanity.

Trump is a traitor

We support, inform
We get frustrated. We plan.
We are resilient.

I am here with you
Conservation and country
Better together

There are some good signs
Newsom press team,ALL CAP POSTS
News is not on Trump

Focus! I need to
Conservation priorities
I love FWS

Do not look away
From the facism around us
Nature and Country?

With that,I am off
An evening with friends, unwind
Privilege to rest

See you tomorrow.

Saturday
#AltPoetSociety

I woke up tired
I am concerned for us all
Liberty? Justice?

I am overwhelmed
I will not capitulate
Energy to fight?

I tell others it’s hard
To work for the government
Service first, unfunded.

It will take all of us
To become the change we seek
We do what we can
August 9, 2025 at 2:51 PM
I am here, Monday
Conservation is worth it
Continue to fight

The birds and the bees
The wildlife and fisheries
We fight for their life

It takes one person
To start a revolution
Why not me today?

For #MentalHealthMonday share a nature / pet photo, a haiku, or something else bringing you joy.

Here’s a snap I took at a Redwood grove and a haiku I wrote to go with it:

Giants reach for sky
Aping orangutan arms
Cradle life with roots
