And he's made each day on the news in UK since he took over. For the restraint of words you've done this prompt justice. And it's up to date , this health issue I hope Es forward and is not destroyed. Good luck in the contest .

You did a fabulous job with this writing challenge. Each word you selected has a lot of punch. Well, he's certainly lost round one, hasn't he? I do hope health care can get straightened out or we all lose.

The arrangement is formatted very well. Created impressions through the descriptions are vivid, forceful and making the reader think about it. I can only wish you the best of luck in this contest.

I saw no SPAG and no typos. Everything looked in place.

You wrote this one very well.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Haha. You speak the truth (unlike some-no names mentioned.) Great picture and great title also. Seems like a real contender for the contest. Best of luck.

He doesn't look vvery happy about it all. Have the Mexicans refused to pay then? Oh dear!

(Flourish - Enter the old fool, stage left)

FOOL: I'm but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
Upon the campaign trail back then I shone
But now I'm listened to no more. An order
issued by an idiot executive,
full of sound and fury, soon rescinded
Signifying nothing.

MACDUFF: That's good to know.

This is a fine entry for the contest
with the correct 5-7-5 syllables
Lions have a little more pride than Trump
He'll soon learn how dysfunctional Washington really is
and that few actually support him.
He may give up an go back to his tower
We can always hope.
Good luck in the contest

I haven't been following the affairs in USA lately, so much happening on this side of the pond so I am not sure the implications of the Health care issue, but I am sure to have a peek after reading this.
Best wishes.

a lion roared in
executive orders flew
health care stopped him dead

your 5/7/5 syllabic count is right but the poem doesn't flow... it reads like a telegram.

I suggest the following changes....

angry lion roar
as executive orders
flue and health care died.... this makes more sense

Very well done. I never thought until now that a haiku could be used so well for a current event (hopefully it won't last much longer). You did a marvelous job with your poem and found just the right illustration. Thank you for sharing.
