A very compelling and yet entertaining topic for this writing prompt. What a fun way to address your 5-7-5 poem. This is a good use of political humor to lighten the mood of the nation! Good luck in the contest.

Good

Is there a point to this poem? I don't get it. And the photo is offensive.

Oh, well. Your syllable count is fine. You get points for that.

I hope you aren't female.

There certainly is a point. Stormy Daniel's testimony is considered to be among the must crucial in the Mueller investigation.
Stormy is what she is, and your critical opinion of the photo for which she posed, should be immaterial. I'm surprised and disappointed by what seems to be your support of Trump affecting your review, Maria.

Of all the comments so far, yours is the only derogatory one.

If well-intentioned fanstorians decided to take issue with others' views that differ from our own, FS would be transformed into a battleground, with low grades wielded as weapons. In the interest of avoiding such unpleasantness, most of us simply bypass the posts we find disagreeable. I wish you had, too.

I despise Trump. I can be offended by the photo. It is degrading to women. You turned it into a "nasty woman" issue with that photo. It was a very poor choice. And it's sort of a joke to say people pass by posts they don't like. A huge joke.

Anyone who despises Trump can't be all bad.
Maria, if you decided to award four stars to every post you consider degrading to women, you'd have no time for anything else. and lots of enemies.

This picture is far from being pornographic. Definitely PG at worst. Its simply a photo of a woman who herself is in bad taste, and degrading to women.
It is no joke, but reassuring, that many staunch Trump supporters on FS are able to coexist civilly with Trump critics like myself, and some even comment favorably on humorous lampooning they appreciate.

This piece may turn out to be one of those.

This 5-7-5, Stormy's Testimony, has the correct format and becomes provocative and stimulating with the photo used and the meaning we must infer.

This is a different kind of piece.I liked it. It is short but says a lot. This has a nice flow with a nice rhyme. The picture describes the poem perfectly.

Hello ... quite a sexy picture, I must confess I don't know the man you mention in the poem, but I think you have written to the criteria and have good word and art choices. All the best with this poem, thanks, Ana.

I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt.
Your short verse tells of the current news events with Stormy. If it weren't so serious, it would be funny.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.
Sharon
