I like both the picture and the poem. Whatever happens, we need to give the voting result a chance... We definitely had bad experience the last time when we voted in 2016. It turned out we are worse than where we were in 2016.

Let's hope we are going to get better...

Thanks for sharing.

You have used several examples of alliteration and onomatopoeia. The s's created the sense of hissing. It could also give the tone of disgust. You've also used allusion. These will draw the readers in. There is a sense of animation with an irony creating an example of juxtaposition.

    Thank you for the fantastic review, Liz. It was all unintentional. I just threw something silly together to put in the context. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars. Have a great Easter.

It's hard to come up with one hundred fifty-two characters to say kudos, well done, thanks for having the courage to speak truth. Reminds me of the old 70s(?) song, "It's Too Late To Say You're Sorry."

    I know what you mean about the character limit, Susan. Lol. Thank you for the great review and stars. Yes, that song could definitely apply. Haha. Have a wonderful Easter.

    I wish I could remember who sang it, and I'm now thinking sixties and Beatles?

    I actually had to look it up. Turns out this line is from a song by the Zombies called "She's Not There." Thank you again.

I can identify with these words here and I know the dilemma of the Americans with this weak Government at the helm. Many people in Britain regret their vote and leaving Europe has been the worst mistake in British history, yet we are carrying on and limping along. The problems it has caused Brits who have bought properties abroad is immeasurable. Not to mention a whole host of other problems arising. The mix of Brexit and Covid has made life impossible recently. I was swanning along in life enjoying myself and suddenly everything changes virtually over night. I live in a very different world now, I enjoyed your 5-7-5 and I doubt Biden will see another term! Love Dolly x

    All of our lives have changed, that's for sure. I doubt he sees another term as well. I'll be surprised if he actually makes it through these four years. Lol. Thank you for the great review and gracious stars, Dolly. I'm glad you liked my silly little rant. I hope you have a wonderful Easter.
