I have not checked the syllable count, but that is unimportant in that any poem can fit that requirement if the poet ignores all rules of grammar and syntax. Is it that your mind works so fast that you cannot express your work in anything but this shorthand. I see this poem as a series of notes expressing thoughts on which to build a coherent work. If so, please slow down.

Hello. Excellent word play to address the topic of greed. My favorite part was your use of "Wink" as in to hide the underlying corruption of business deals that advances the few, but takes away from everyone else. I immediately think about the term "Eminent domain" Cheers.

This is an excellent Rictameter consistant to the pattern of 2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2 which is its definition. I think you have done very well.

Greedy? Perhaps. When one is starving for those member dollars, and you are so ultra generous...? BUT, never have I skimmed one of your writings. Actually, I spend more time on yours than any others, because (normally) I have to figure out what the message is. This one, I believe, comes pretty much to the point. That many just write anything, as a reply, without even taking the time to read or try to understand. Yes- that truly IS greedy! Thank you for sharing this. It was quite clear. Betty

Well pictured in words, visual and rendition. Deep, deep thought that one can easily relate to. I think I really love the deep message.

Ok, I am no expert, take me as somebody not educated in literature, who is a possible buyer of your book if you ever publish.... I just don't get this. All your poems are a bunch of words that (sometimes) make a little meaning to me. Maybe it is a masterpiece and only I am the dumb one, but I really don't understand your messages.
