Always the lies, denial of facts
repeating deceits, alternative truths
Always the acts, obscuring his fears
by never be silent or seeking advice
Always the smears, spreading his venom
those who oppose are enemies, foes
Always in plenum with those of his cult
chanting together of greatness in him
Always forever, the champion, a king
but never, no never a grown-up, never adult
Today Dora hosts dVerse with a prompt on repetitions which I might have taken to the extreme. Any connection to anyone particulat may or may not be accidental.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Never too extreme with this possible person, but the picture is much too kind of him.
you cannot be too obvious.
This is stellar writing here, Bjorn! I resonate with “Always in plenum with those of his cult chanting together of greatness in him.”
truly a prince of darkness.
This one rings a very — dare I say it — ORANGE bell. Loved how you used repetition to drive home the allusion!
It is effective… tried to strengthen it with some internal rhymes as well.
Worked beautifully. Now we brace ourselves against what comes: a perfect (orange) storm or not.
The repetition of one word is often more effective than a phrase or line, Björn, and I really like the juxtaposition of ‘always forever’ and ‘never, no never’. Is this who I think it is?
It could be… I had hoped I would never have to write about him again.
I have been hoping to never hear his name again – thanks for not mentioning it! I have my fingers crossed that he won’t get in again.
Well done — well said, and v interesting theme/form of poetry…but also needed, so much. Again a lexical mastery that amazes..
repetitions of lies seems to work itself into truths though
I love the character sketch Bjorn with the emphasis on Always and Never. Very familiar to me and maybe applies to a lot of folks in the public office. Great use of repetition.
Alas, too many but one more than others
Sad tidings if his ascension comes to pass.
There are always people like this, unfortunately. Great writing.
Wekk done woth this ominous character
much♡love
Why do I feel confident that I know exactly who you mean? 😉 Is this person a little senile, a lot stinky, and very far up his own butt?
and a cheater in golf, yes.
Ah yes, we know who you are referring to. Well done. I agree with Lisa, you are way to kind with the picture 🤣
Ha! I certainly recognize the type, of not the particular person! I like your vocabulary choices. Plenum is rarely seen.
Every drop of commentary that swells the ocean that is needed to overwhelm this particular person and his ilk is both needed and welcome at this juncture, Björn…
Well done Bjorn
One can only hope his days of always going on and on and on are nearing an end,
‘He’ is legion.
Oh, yes–always and never. And it holds true for others like him.
Stellar write, Bjorn! You hit a target that is slimy, wiggly, evil, criminal, dishonest ~~~ but you hit him right in the good old BULLSEYE!! Cheers.
We see it here every day of the week as the election draws near!
Very dark, and extremely possible.
always, always, never, never — i really liked the repetitions you chose! nicely done!
Wonderful use of repetition to drive your point home! I think I have an idea who the intended target was. It’s beautiful, isn’t it, how much words can convey when one reads between the lines.
Chilling
You speak of the evil embodied in tRump. The orange hemorrhoid.
May the king never sit on the throne!
Sounds like a typical elitist party boss. Not that shrill woman with the trousers that never seem to fit, but most of the people she’s not blocked from her web site are probably JUST like that.
Excellent rhyming pattern and well done on venom/plenum!
