Oh. Really. Thank you. I don't think this contest is for me though. I started out joining about six months ago. My first two poems were one of five honorable mentions. Then nothing. I'm not a good fit for Poetry.com. more »

Thank you. I have to say, I don't think other people caught the theme or humor at all!

I chose it because this poem speaks the truth in righteous narration. It is time to listen to words like these or our Democracy is doomed!

I love the metaphor and then lyrics. A lovely poem.

Thanks for your great comment, Karl. Very annoying

Greatly appreciated Gisela Vigil .

It is full of wonderful specific imagery that is still universal , with humor, insight and brevity. love it!

That's so interesting you mention Kerouac. My initial mentor!!

I love the brevity of it but it has a deep meaning in few words.

Thank you so much for the vote and appreciation. It is obviously got a humorous bite to it. Usually the poems on Poetry.com are less humorous. It's got to be revised a bit, tighten up but I like it as well. And like I said, it's "not autobiographical". more »

What do you mean by "I won't get sucked in again?"

The last time I was runner up I got a coffee mug!! And who say there's no money in poetry? lol

Thank you so much. Great comment!!
