Dark Drama
Darkening
(in
the key of D)
Drugged disillusioned daylight departs.
Dismal dingy duskiness descends,
dawning’s downward direction.
Dude-demon dismantling decapitates
diffuse departments.
Dionysus drinks desiccates delight,
Demon dragon dresses.
Demigod despoils decency defames Demeter*
disciplines Dinlas.*
Dolorous drumming dunderheads
“Drumpf!”
Doorbells ding dung ding dung Don
Donut-dunking dimwits dragging
Democracy’s demise
dangling dazed dreamers
Daniela Dominguez
Diego
Delmar
down doleful dens dachshund-desperate
Dogcatcher dingo-dumb dopes delighted
departmentally dangerous dentally drilling
doing damage daily draining dreams
dry dribble dregs.
Dearly defiant dudgeon don’t depart drifting.
Drugged daft disillusioned disinterested
Deutschland darkhorse dazzles Darwin’s dog,
Dodo Deuteronomy declares destruction,
Disunited Districts of Dystopia
deride
democracy.
Decartes’ Discourse delineates doubt
debunks decorum, deifies defiance.
Donald Drumpf dollop of dandruff
Dean of disorder Dunce of DunScotus
Despoiler of Darwin, Dewey’s dead
dualism
Deferred decentering Derridan deconstruction
Destabilizing disestablisher
dismantling,
Daresay dastardly darkhorse
draft-dodging, dress-debrider
deflowers decency
demands diaspora debauches
decent debutante daughters
disfigures and denudes,
Deprives derelicts Doubles-down
diabolically
deluding deplorables
denies decay damage destruction,
devours Deucalion* – Deluge’s descendent,
desecrates dictionaries, digests daffodils.
Dragon-Doge, Deutschland’s drum,
Dean of Dixie, doubles deport down.
Denounce-Depose Donald.
Do not delay-dawdle-drift.
Doggedly debunk denial.
Distill daylight, decant dreams.
Decimate dejection, Dazzle!
