This loop poem, Think Carefully When You Vote, has the proper formatting and basically reminds the voters that Trump is a liar and a criminal and needs to pay for his many sins.

    Ahh... You read between the lines. I tried not to say it in those exact words.

Great loop poem with the most important advice we all should be heeding between now and November. Love your "be'cause"-- very clever!
I like it when poets think outside the box. I keep hearing people say they are so disheartened they plan on staying home. Good grief...

That is the worst thing to do!

A clever poem with some sound advice here Beth. We need to take voting seriously as it can change our lives and here in Britain everything has changed under a labour Government and not for the better. I enjoyed your plea for vote wisely Beth, love Dolly x x x

Over the last few elections its been hard for me to vote and feel like either of the candidates would be a win, and this one isn't any different. I'm just amazed that out of 400 million people, these two are the best we can get.
Thanks for sharing.

    Thank for the review. Watch the debate and toss a coin. We need to vote for the one who might be the least harmful.

This is a great entry for the Loop Poetry competition. You have given it a nice presentation and a timely and important message. I am enjoying reading loop poems, especially when they have a natural flow so the repetitions aren't choppy or too forced. Yours are very smooth and well constructed. Great job!

Very wise advise. I met a woman and her dad and they brought up who they were voting for. I will not say who, but their reasons for choosing had no depth or reasoning. Typical of many voters.

    Thank you Mary. When I see people on the computer being asked why they are supporting the canadate of their choice they seem convinced they should but no idea why they should.

Yep! It says here, I need a hundred and forty-six more characters to post a response. No, it only took me three letters to agree, and there nothing to suggest it needs improvement, let the number stand for for itself. Terry.

Beth, this is the best loop poem I've read for this contest. I like the way you bent the rules a little with "be'cause" - I hope the committee sees this as I do, creative.

Good luck in the contest, and let's pray that our nation does the right thing for democracy.

    Thank you Pam. I hope bending the rules a bit is okay. I'm glad you like this. I don't like loop poems that much, but I try to make a little less irritating.

An excellent last line here, Beth, concluding your thoughtful, well-crafted verse about voting fairly. It's all a huge worry and your post sets the matter out calmly and rationally.
Lies (make)... or maybe Lies portray/define?
This is even better than I first thought as I didn't realise until the end it's a loop poem. Particularly impressive! Good luck! Debbie

    Thank you Debbie. I've very pleased you didn't realize it was a loop poem because loop poems tend to irritate me. Thank your for the review.

I'm watching the American election very closely from the UK, I think at the moment it still seems too close to call to see who is going to win it. We just had an election in July which was over and done with within six weeks, it always amazes me how long American elections go on for. A well written piece, Beth. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you Jacob. I have no idea why American's allow this painful process to go on so long. I think they way it is don't in others countries make more sense. I don't mean the countries where voting is just a sham like Russia.
