Title: Trump Vs Biden

Title: Trump Vs Biden

Joe Biden is not a communist.
He is an old politician.
At times, due to his age, he can be somewhat somnolent.,

Former President Donald Trump
Is on trial for alleged crimes
He spends his time posting online, such a toxic waste dump.

Americans say this is our choice.
Between two old men past their prime?
Both of them are now showing clear signs of mental decline.

The choice comes down to this my friend
Cool grandpa or crazy grandpa?
In a country of 330 million people, what a dead-end.
Garden Lace is an invented form created by Roseille at WDC in response to a challenge to create a poem with interlocking rhymed tercets. Roseille is fast becoming one of my new favorite poets because of her creativity and her flawless rhythm. The elements of Garden Lace are:
1. written in any number of tercets.
2. syllabic, L1 & L2 8 syllables each, L3 14 syllables. Optional: L1 & L2 of each tercet is iambic tetrameter, L3 is iambic heptameter.
3. rhymed, rhyme scheme, aba bcb cdc ded and so on.
