This is a great theme for the short poem. If everyone would work together to treat each other with more love and respect and work together for the collective good, this world would be a much better place with much less of the serious problems that wreak havoc. Bill

I believe this pandemic has caused the world to come together in more ways than one. But I've also noticed the inaccuracies we are now seeing in government, healthcare, education, etc. But your poem is a reminder that we the people have a choice in wheater we sink or swim.

    Hello Makahla. J,
    As a reviewer, you are free to make your own decisions, but for your kind information and if you don't mind, the answer to your Question raised in the 2nd Sentence is HIDDEN in the 3rd Sentence because whether we admit or not, the root cause of all the visible evils or 'the described problems' ultimately lies in the people themselves, particularly in the democratic system which is prevalent almost throughout the world.
    Moreover, the poem needs to be seen in wider perspective.
    Thanks for reading and reviewing.

In my opinion, a resounding message in clear and rhyming tone - a striking image in both verse and imagery, in complete compliance with the prompt. Best wishes in the contest...

What a wonderful, meaningful, poem, with a great message in the limited number of syllables allowed. You are right, we are all in this together. The image you chose complements your poem beautifully. Good luck in the contest!

An effective and heartfelt message, or plea. I really like the way it is presented. I think the first two lines are really good and simply get the message across.

I like this think thrice, sounds better than twice and for sure adds more wisdom to the context. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

That is a nice poem. You thought it out well. I appears to be written in a monorhyme. I'm not sure, but seems to be... Good lyrical flow. I enjoyed your author notes making me go back to the poem and forming my own ideas. Nice direction. Excellent work.

Be careful. Stay safe and strong :)

Perfect 20 syllables and a rhymne, to boot!
I think this can apply to far more than the current state of virus in the world. How many of us regrt rash decisions? Think thrice is great advice. :)
Blessings,
Deb

Very nice entry for the twenty syllable poem contest.
Your thoughts came together well using the proper amount of syllable allowed.
It was very easy to follow what was being said.
Thanks for sharing.
