Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written political Senryu and sound advice not to talk politics with friends and family especially when different sides are supported it is not worth losing dear friends or family members.

Comment from Gail Denham
This is a great entry for this contest - I think I voted for this one. We have, in our family, someone who so totally disagrees with our views, they are rather militant. But we cannot lose the closeness of family.

Comment from Joy Graham
Dear Mystery Poet,
We have learned over time to avoid certain subjects that can set certain family members off when we all get together. You say it well in this little poem and give readers a moment of wisdom and enlightenment.
Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Bill Schott
This political senryu, Too Precious to Lose, presented as a 5-7-5, speaks truth to power as it shows us that the biggest divide in our country should only be Coke or Pepsi. Politics is a fight best left to CNN and Fox News.

Right on, Bill!! Thank you for your review!
Comment from sunnilicious
Politics and Religion are still on the top list of taboo things to talk about at parties. It can really cause a stir. This is a good reminder message with the pending holidays upon us. Nice work :)

Thank you for your great review and understanding comments!
Comment from Ogden
You have a very good point there, and the voters are agreeing. In expressing it, you've become the author of a remarkable domestic peace plan! :)

As a mom, we live with the fact that our 'children' will go out into the world and develop opinions of their own when it comes to politics and, yes, even religion. We simply cannot let those differences create a wedge between us and those wonderful gifts of love -- life is too damn short!! Thanx for your review, Don!

You're very welcome. I'll bet you didn't expect to become a politician.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. You have written some very sage advice in this poem. You have advised families with different opinions to stay away from politics. That is extremely wise. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Cindy Warren
Yeah, that and religion are topics to be avoided. No amount of arguement will ever change anyone's views. Best to agree to disagree, respectfully. Good luck in the contest.
