Comment from Pantygynt
The sport of 'bash the boss' is in season again, though the boss has changed, the bash has not. I suppose that is politics for you. What you need is a third party, strong enough to be taken seriously but weak enough to be unlikely to actually win an election, like our liberal democrats. I cheerfully support these guys in the certain knowledge that, as a result, I can never be blamed for the way things turn out.
The poem follows the requirements of the trimeric perfectly.

I rarely say anything remotely political on here. But this just wouldn't quit nagging at me. hahahaha. Thanks, Jim.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Such eloquent statements you make in this poem. You are so right in saying 'It's time.' The so-called journalists have abandoned their duty. They are blatantly wearing blinders when it comes to the mess that is being made of such a beautiful country. You need all hands on deck to keep the ship from sinking.
Well done.

Comment from tfawcus
First of all, a very happy birthday to you! I've just read Roy's lovely poem written in honour of the occasion.
I think your poem here expresses a feeling that many people share, not only in America, either. The sixth star is for your careful selection of lines in the first stanza. They build beautifully to reinforce the point you are making as they recur in the following stanzas. Very nicely done.

Thank you so much, Tony. High praise from a writer like you. Thanks for the birthday wishes, too. I had a grand day.
Comment from Ben Colder
I think we the people are in for a rude awakening. Nero played while Rome burned. Today the same. The fiddler and the cat. Woe unto those who lose their freedom. Good poem.

We don't know the outcome, but I know it won't be good. Thanks for reviewing.

A form I'd like to try! Looks challenging and could lend itself to all sorts of themes! I try to leave politics on the curb when reviewing. One man's propaganda is another's truth these days. Suffice to say you managed to address bullet points of the day in a tastefully poetic way!

Your fear is real here and once the youngsters learn anarchistic behaviour it is hard to stop the trend. A well written and poignant write, love Dolly x

Comment from T B Botts
Well said Yvonne. I'm so pleased that you have written what is on your heart, regardless of others may say. I feel so betrayed by our representatives, and the fools in the media keep pushing an agenda that is tearing apart our country. Fear is being used as a weapon and unfortunately it appears that large numbers of people are allowing themselves to be duped. I believe Ben Franklin said that those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither. Thanks for taking a stand. I'm right there with you gal.
God bless and keep you.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
BRAVO! You did an excellent job, Yvonne. Your club poem tells it like it is without any fluff or lies. You did a great job with the trimeric style. Your lines read well, the rhymes work, and your message is loud and clear. The image is perfect, too. Everything you mentioned is true. The American people must make a stand for any change for the better to take place. Every day, we don't, it's becoming more difficult to overcome what is causing the USA to spiral downward.
Thanks for sharing and caring.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you for this wonderful review and stars. I'm afraid it may be too late for our beloved country.
Comment from Sherry Asbury
Wish I had 6 stars for you - this is fantastic and so true and also just what I am feeling!! A civil war is coming and maybe even the Rapture, for there is no fixing things the way they are now. You are loved by me deeply and I am going ahead to say it while I can still speak my own mind! Excellent writing here and a new form for me to learn!
