I likre this. Short. Clever. Gets the point across. And I like how you used the way you used "liberal" here. Be sure to check out my story entered in the 1000-word contest: Slightly Lived-iOn. It''s in the voting booth now!

Interesting word choices. The words seem contradictory, but they are not really as the value of family is or at the very least should be equally important to everyone despite their political leanings. I am certain that this is the way things were initially intended to be.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Bill, very true. Family values are widely shared but are they always being valued? Exactly it's a conservative issue and then what? This 5-7-5 poem raised a few questions. Good luck. All the best. Ulla:))

Great subject for the 5-7-5 contest, and best of luck to you. Your syllable count is correct. Best of luck to you in the contest. "Family Values" is an old-fashioned issue, and I hope what the term includes is shared by all. To me family means just that--the traditional husband, wife, children. Now, it seems, husband is no longer in the picture. It would be great if everyone shared the same idea of family values. Your three lines inspire a lot of thought. judi

Good job, Bill, with your contest entry. Your words ring true. Many say they don't discuss politics with family, but most are mistaken--they cuss and discuss it all the time. Your art choice is perfect for your words. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan
