I remember the name of the movie but I don't remember ever seeing it but I do and realize right away.
That was Jane Fonda.
I loved her father's work. Henry Fonda and I also would watch some of her brother Peter's work.
Amazing family of actors!
Thanks for sharing this and good luck in the contest!

    Contest long gone, mate. Had to get this up for some more faithfujl reviewers. She is supposed to have made a profession of faith but I read she is still supporting abortion even up to nearly birth!

That's a disgrace to all veterans to even think HJ would
be cast in that role. You did a great job with your contest
entry, Sankey. The rhymes worked, the flow was smooth,
and the message was clear.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan

    Jan, someone claimed she had made a profession of faith and repented of her old ways but just recently I saw news that she still supports abortion and stuff. Thanks for the great review. Get to your stuff soon.

I have never cared for Jane Fonda. I think she betrayed this country and after a few years it was swept under the rug. No apology, no shame. I bet you're right about Ron and Nancy spinning in their Graves. Your poem was a fun read though. Great job. Gretchen

This poem, Insane, brings the readers back to the Vietnam War and antiwar activists who went far beyond acceptable methods of protesting that tragic "police action".

    Bill, I was one of the last to be "Called Up" or US calls it "Drafted" for Vietnam but I failed the medical so didn't go. Jane was always a radical. Thanks for coming by.

Jane was very young and immature then. I think she has changed a lot of her views over the years and she had a lot of respect for Nancy Reagan. Jane became a Christian and it changed her life. She is fighting cancer now and likely won't be here much longer. I think we should forgive her.

    Yeah you might be right. I had heard she might have repented. I still remember all the Vietnam drama and all that. I was one of the last to be called up o Drafted as you guys call it but I failed the medical. Thanks for coming by.

Thank you. I have learnt something today. I did not know that Jane Fonda was to play Nancy Reagan. Yes, what would Ronald think? Food for thought. An excellent poem. Jacqueline

    Yeah the world at least on the Right side was abhorrent of the idea. Thanks for the great review. Just trotting some of these oldies out for some more air.

Wow very interesting and impactful written here. Some of the facts about different people and what they do out. There can be a challenge to say the least! Your problem is very good rhymes well and flows well. I enjoy the photo you attached as well to emphasize what you're saying. It's around about great package to put out there. Yes I agree it doesn't make one scratch their head does it not? Aesthetically speaking I find no issues with your sentence structure grammar spelling punctuation none of that it all looks good! One small suggestion if I may perhaps increase the font on your writing so older people can read it easier. Thank you so much for your submission best of luck and have a great evening!

Hello Sankey
Your rhyming is so good, and the fact that Jane Fonda would take the part of Nancy Regan will not be good, with knowing Jane's past.

    Thanks Gert. Sorry the rewards are all run out I think. Yeah I have had a lot of agreement with this poem. Appreciate your great review. They reckon she apologized for what she did and she is now around 80 I think. Oh well.

This is a very well written and very true rhyming poem you have penned for the contest. You used very good descriptive words and the mug shot looks just like she used to. Best wishes in the contest my friend! Blessings, Teri

    Thanks Sis. I had forgotten she is now around 80. She apparently apologized for what she did all those years ago but oh well. Appreciate your lovely review, thanks.
reply by Teri7 on 11-Sep-2018
    You are so welcome. It is nice that she apologized as some people never do that! Have a great and blessed night!

I can't believe it. In a movie she has been selected to play her? Wow, what is this world coming to. That is some movie I will have to watch. An eye opener that I thank you for. Good job and thank you again.

    Thanks Annie. She did apologize for what she did much later but oh well. Appreciate your lovely review. She is 80 now too, which I never realized.
