This is so very true. There are so many fights and disagreements when it comes to oil. And the one that is but on the back burner is how it is bad for the world we live in, the world that supports us and provides is with a home.

This political 5-7-5, A Challenging Environment, has the proper formatting and alludes to the issues of green house gases and the struggle between money and survival.

Hello, anonymous,

Good syllable count and connection between lines. The presentation is nice.

Biden has an environment plan, Trump thinks it's a hoax.

Good luck in the contest.

    Trump is a waste of a brain. Does he even have one? Biden is on the right track. It is utterly obvious an environment plan is critically necessary.

I like the art work you selected. It is such a shame that we are poisoning our environment the way we do. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.

    Thanks for reviewing. Too much talk and not enough action to look after Mother Earth.

This poem entry is well written and thought out. It should do well as an entry for the Political 5-7-5 writing prompt. Best of luck in the contest!

I so agree with your statements here and we had pretty much the same scenario in Britain, but it was clear that we could not let Jeremy Corbin as it would have been political suicide, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This is an interesting and original twist to the concept of politics. It appeals to me very much, especially how you managed to carry through so many alternative points on the subject.

I noticed a half-rhyme with air/atmosphere in this 5-7-5 that has more than one level of interpretation. Nice job on incorporating double meanings and fitting it to a political/environmental slant as well.

    I'm pleased you noticed the near-rhyme. i thought its subtlety might be missed. Thanks for your comments.

They have taken down a bunch of those old coal furnaces, but many remain. What a wonderfully written poem.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

    Thanks for reviewing.
    Under lockdown, with minimal car useage, the air cleared noticeably in a relatively short timeframe. We could help the Earth heal overall with the right mindset and political will.
