Comment from Dawn Munro
No doubt, it's intentional -- this poem works on so many levels, my friend. The latest fiasco doesn't bother me as much as the children torn from their mothers' arms, mind you. But closing down government like some petulant kid? Come on! I know zilch about USA's policies, I guess... What does it take to get this man out of office? Impeach!

So, glad you enjoyed, Dawn -- I'm just so tired of all the games and such everywhere -- I don't even watch any news any more because I am happy to remain happy without their 'downers' in my life! :) Yvette

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
Such a powerful truth you've shared. I am moved by your topic of choice. Excellent beginning line, "biting political winds..." those are some deeply emotional word choices that stand out for me. I hope you do well in the Naani poem contest. This is a solid entry.

This poem is sad. Showing and telling the sad event. I assume typhoon and storm. I hope the situation is fix. Similar like Japan. Or act as community to help each. Helping each other makes a better place. Anyway your writing catch the words in the picture.

Thank you for your review. Because a rating of 4 stars means that there are adjustments that need to be made, could you please explain/detail the adjustments you suggest? What would need to be 'fixed' in either the wording or the mechanics to make the adjustment up to a five star rating?
-
I don't understand about biting political winds. How can you bite winds? Sounds philosophical. Seems a deep meaning, like is it the governments fault for not fixing the mess quickly or days later.

Look up the definition of words, please. I appreciate that you do not understand (I have provided the definition below), however, such is not an excuse to rate a poem lower. If you do not understand a poem, you should skip it rather than provide a lower rating if the mechanics of the write are correct. Thank you again for your time.
Biting (google online dictionary) -- (of wit or criticism) harsh or cruel.
Biting (dictionary. com) -- cutting; sarcastic
Biting (merriam-webster) -- able to grip and impress deeply (i.e., a biting wit)

Thank you for enlighten me. I'm new to reviews. Thanks, I learn something new from you.

This a wonderful political weather report. I believe they'll be "hail" to go through as well. And a heavy blizzard which leaves us blind and dumbfounded.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
The political solution to Brexit had better hurry up and be made clear to us all so that we can move on, your words brought this to my mind as we in Britain are in limbo! And the future is uncertain, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Hello Anon
Ho, Ho...very topical. I am sure the subtlety of your words will not be lost on the informed reader.
You are in the right shape and contest rules - a very neat and astute write this: you should do well with it later at the booth.
I wish you well with your continued writing.
cheers

Thanx for the wonderful comments, Phill -- had never written one of these before so I researched it to find out all about it, format, focus, accepted styling, etc. -- alas, when I peeked at the votes late last night, I'm pretty sure folks just went with the 4 lines/syllable count and wrote and voted...:) :) But, hey, I know how to write a naani now....and there's my alliteration for the day -- LOL!! :) :) Keep on smilin' and writin' -- take care! ;)
