Written for dVerse Poets: Quadrille #24
De Jackson (WhimsyGizmo) here, and today, for our beloved Quadrille, let’s softly sneak in the word whisper. Or shout it. Noun it. Verb it. Slip it an extra letter or two to make it an adjective or adverb: whispered, whispery, whispering, whisperingly (bonus points if you can make that last one sound good, ever.) And you know I always love a well-placed hyphen, should you want to play around with it a little.
Cabinet positions are filling
up. A spot is open
for the right (left) person. Be
our first President Whisperer.
You must have patience,
sense of humor,
and a thick skin. Interpretation
skills required. If you qualify,
we’d love to hear (not hear)
from you.
Yes, we need a president whisperer. Good luck to that person. Great idea and well crafted work!

I wonder if the president might listen to whispers,

How fun. That’s a good idea, Sara. Hopefully, though, the advisors will whisper or shout with wisdom.

Yes, we can always hope.

Love the humor in this, but then on second reading I thought there really needs to be someone like a President Whisperer to set boundaries and filters for someone who has none. 🙂

Brilliant idea…perhaps we can collectively make ourselves heard……a ‘whisper of Poets’ as it were.

A president whisperer………interesting! I think I prefer folks who will shout to the rooftops. Cabinet watchers, president watchers….an investigative press is what shall be called for, a wary public who holds the folks in DC accountable and ignores those pesky tweets to see the large emus and dodo birds strutting round the nest! 🙂

Ah, I read this one on the right day. I hope there will be people around to moderate and attenuate, if only he will listen to the whispering… to the right kind of whispering…
