This is a very funny sedoka! I want to thank you for the laugh. My husband does the same thing drives over to the neighbors and chats! Good luck.

A poem that depicts the recreation needs of a man opposed to the important feats of the day.
With good form /proper syllables.

Your poem is in excellent syllable count and structure for the sedoka form.
I love the complementary pairing of photo and poem
and the alliteration of men and machines/morning/managed/mowing
I also love the humor of your observations :-) Brooke

the rules of the sedoka were followed as the should and the obsevation on how world affairs are managed were quite true to what I have see. Good Job

A sedoka consists of two unrhymed three-line stanzas, each with a syllable count of 5 - 7 - 7.
the photo is the star herre, just how funny is that!!

This is cute. How you observe them, take the picture, have a bright idea, write this humorous sedoka, and enter the contest. You are so creative! Good luck.

This is great. It looks like they're having fun, 'chewing the fat'. Maybe they'll get a good tan out of it too. LOL Kat
