    I absolutely love the message conveyed in your 'Politics' poem! The metaphor of the ball being in other's court and our playing with a replica one is so impactful and thought-provoking. It's a brilliant way to express the frustrations that many of us feel regarding politics and the actions of those in power. Your writing style is engaging, concise, and yet powerful. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world through such a beautifully composed piece of poetry!

    This poem has a clear and concise message about the current state of politics. I appreciate the imagery and metaphor used in the line "we are playing with the replica one," as it conveys the idea of a game where the stakes are not as high as they should be.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to build upon this metaphor throughout the poem. Perhaps exploring the idea of politicians as players or different political issues being different parts of the game could add depth to the message.

    Overall, I enjoyed this poem and its message. Keep up the great work!
