This was very different from what I usually enjoy, but I found myself liking what I read. The flow is great and the message is obviously written with strong feeling.

A very good posting indeed.

Thank you.

This is a very interesting and good poem you have penned about our leaders today. You used very good descriptive wording and very good imagery. Blessings, Teri

    Thank you for reading my poem and for your comments. It occurred to me that it could also be talking about politicians now or at many other times. I appreciate your feedback.

This is excellent - well written. I love it all but the first stanza really captured my attention so I had to read it through:)

'bath' should be 'bathe'.

Six star worthy in my book!

    Thank you so much for your kind and generous review. I appreciate you catching my typo too. No matter how many times I proofread something I still frequently miss something.

A very appropriate poem On Independence Day. America has a long, rich history. Unfortunately, much of it has been trampled underfoot by greedy politicians.

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my poem. I wasn't really even thinking about Independence Day when I wrote it but it does seem to fit. But then, we are always dealing with greedy politicians.

A very well-written political poem. Whoever is the leader of a country should be respected at all times. If we can't agree with the leadership, then we can at least give him a fair chance. There were worse leaders whom everyone just ignored for all their wrong doings.

This is great! First the title, with its double meaning. Then it's timeless message: what has this country been founded on? I liked the casual rhyming structure. You've done a fantastic job with this and I wish you much success.

    So am I, and many others. I have a tendency to voice similar concerns in my writing, and have been known to cry in public when reading my works. FanStory is much safer outlet!
