I won't comment on the politics as I am not in the U.S. but I think your poem is extremely clever, and the internal rhyme at the end is witty and appropriate. Sending best wishes.

Thanks, Wendy.
Comment from Gee
Interesting 5-7-5 poem for the competition. I am still not sure, you sound like you're on the fence a little.
..just joking.
I hope you do well in the competition.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Gee, for the kind review. Republicans have allowed the tail to wag the dog.
Comment from dellsworthpoet
A truly political statement. The form is followed. The made up words work well with the subject matter. The flow is good.
Thanks for a good read. Good luck in the contest.

You are welcome.

It's shocking that some Republicans would want to forcefully un-do elections in order to keep their candidate while claiming to be for democracy. That's why many have turned to RVAT - Republican Voters Against Trump. I pray that he will never run again.

The Republicans know the world is changing and their platform is out of touch. They feed their hate and lies to the bottom feeders who could be mobilized to violence. Trump is a disease that has spread and will require "ectomy" and long-term recovery.

That was hot!!! For, you were able to say a thousand
words in this Haiku. Nevertheless, you simultaneously
bought about awareness, as well as provoking thought.
And that's fire!!! Keep Writing. And stay Connected

Interesting poem, can be taken more than one way. I don't mind republicans, but those weened by Trump means disaster for this country. He wants to be king and we his subjects bow to him.

I feel there is a movement by the rich to move to an autocratic society where the elite rule. The next step would be fascism.
Comment from Theodore McDowell
Appropriate poem for the contest. I would have preferred a more satirical approach rather than directly smearing all Republicans by implication and the use of a crude picture. These aspects weaken the strength of the poem and its implications.

I totally disagree, Theodore. Thanks though.

I like the feel of this piece. It says so much about the last election. I wish Trump had won. I feel he was doing a fine job and if he would have been allowed to continue he could have helped our nation a lot more.

This is very clever. I must admit, I don't understand how he can be running again. I was very surprised he was elected last time. But he seems popular. But I'm even more surprised how more amicable ex Presidents are so unpopular! Do you guys automatically dislike ex presidents? Well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Reagan = I guess we like him despite Reagonomics and trickle-down economics
Bush = economy
Clinton = Monica Lewinsky
Bush = Iraq invasion
Obama = loved by all except Republicans
Trump = lying sack of shite

I guess they were human. A terrible trait to have.

Oh, I rubbed my hands in glee when I saw your 'subtitle'. Doesn't matter where you live any more, all our politicians are catastrophic or entertaining. They are certainly providing a lot of fodder for writers. You did a good job here, except I dont know the word 'repugnantcan' but that's probably just me. I'll look it up later...
