Comment from Irish Rain
I wish. They get paid to play. We pay them by supporting them. But I can't support, or even in any way agree with this nonsense...no football in our house. GREAT entry!! Blessings....

Comment from Drew Delaney
You did it in six words. Yay!
Forget politics and kick the ball is what this says in plain words. You have written it in poetic form and rhyme. Nice work!

Thank you! But can you believe two different 'experts' tried to rewrite it for me? LOL! I therefore appreciate your excellent taste in all things poetic even more! Cheers, Dennis

Comment from Curly Girly
NFL is a wonderful sport that all races and nationalities can sit back and enjoy.
This sport speaks a language that everyone understands: WIN!
Your 7-word poem is okay, but it could be written better. You wrote this:
Forget the politic,
the ball:kick!
Suggested improvement:
Forget the politics, / add an 's'
Kick the ball! / change word order
Best wishes.

Thanks, no offense but ball and politics don't rhyme...:)
-
True!
Sorry, I didn't realise rhyme was intended.
The poor English was too distracting.
Maybe...
Forget the politics,
enjoy the kicks!
or:
Forget the politics,
Let's see those kicks!
Good luck and best wishes.

Can't leave well enough alone, gotta get another dig in "the poor English was too distracting" LOL You really are a literary snob aren't you? :)

Our job here is to review and I gave an honest opinion.
If you don't like it, then ignore it.
Good luck and enjoy your weekend.
-
consider it ignored if I didn't make that clear earlier. It's SIX words! Sheesh!
-
I apologize for my attitude and my rude words to you. Please forgive me, and thank you for an honest review.
God bless, Dennis
-
Thank you, Dennis. Your gracious apology is accepted. God bless.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written seven word poem telling every one it is time to end the politics and rather start kicking the ball where it belongs.
Good luck with the contest.

Nice simple but not simple statement on football and politics. It does seem like some politicians do seem to punt a lot after making mistakes.
Good luck.
Keep writing

A great message in so few words. We watch sports to escape from listening to the rest of life; now even that doesn't seem to work.
Good image to go along with this shorty.
Very nice posting!

Comment from royowen
Politics is part of everything I'm afraid, when I played there was those who tried to climb the ladder even in this humble hame. A well presented and carefully manicured seven word entry in this contest, good luck, great ambiguity, well done, blessings, Roy

You too Bro Dennis,
Comment from Lucian Carter
That's cool./ It's also a sentiment I haven't heard much during this over-hyped debate. I won't debate the issue here. I'm focused on the work.
I'm not certain a semi-colon is the right punctuation there. Wouldn't a colon, or a simple comma, work better?
Anyway, good luck. You've written a charged piece in just seven words, and that ain't easy.

I believe you have a point. This ; minus this, plus this . = this : ! Thanks! I will change it now. :)
Comment from Boogienights
Hahaha, funny and timely to say the least! I agree with your sentiment. Football on the field, politics off the field. My husband would boycott the NFL if our son wasn't so enamored of the game. Great entry.

Well I cannot imagine anyone or anything delivering REAL IMPACT as well as this work is doing it! The football, about to be kicked, gets the message through as well as a live film would do the job. I cannot suggest anything to improve this work. HIS GRAYNESS; Vance
