I'm with you! After listening to just the briefest snippet of political newscasts, I feel as if I want to go start a rock fight! What has HAPPENED to people? Civility has become extinct! I like this alternative you propose! Good luck in the contest. xo

Though I see you point. We are all sick and tired of the name calling and chest beating, if we give up all is lost for sure. However, you make your point well. The picture adds punch. Good job.

A very well-written 5-7-5 political poem. At its best politics is first of all very borning, then to top that most of them are telling lies and promise the impossible deals to everyone who have ears to hear.

Good illustration to reinforce your three lines.

I would rather compose 575s or Haiku, or read a book, than watch the drivel on cable TV. 'Streaming on' may be one alternative to consider. A glass of wine once in awhile is a happy choice too. LOL

Good luck in contest

Yay! I agree. It's too political and both extremes take up all the air time. I mostly just youtube videos on nature (surprise!) It's free but the young dudes doing the video are questionable authorities. Lol.

I like this piece. It was a good solution to all the opinions that settles for news now on all the channels. This is one way to take care of all of that. Good job.

This is a very good 5-7-5 poem and entry for the contest
I don't think cutting the cable would help all that much.
The politicos are everywhere. maybe move to Walden Pond
and watch the ants go marching.
Good luck in the contest
RS
