Creditors
Loan sharks....six line poem62 total reviews
Comment from LIJ Red
Better known as cash-now-for-your-annuity or title pawn businesses...one guy I knew would loan co-workers cash at ten per cent per week...some things never change over the years. Usurers haunted the people of Bible times. I think your six line poem says it well.

So true and regulations are in place to protect these people, but often they go to unscrupulous creditors who take them for a ride, borrowing is a mugs game I'm afraid, a poignant write, love Dolly x

Partly funny, partly amusing, partly sad, all engaging. I can sense a lot of anger running underneath the lines. Managed to capture a lot in only five lines.

Yes, they are, indeed, unsavory characters, but this guy is a certifiable weirdo. You must have been really hard up to do business with such a creep!
(Even in a fix like that, you should be able to find an ordinary sleazebag.)

P.S. Your humorous illustration prompted my flippant review.

Cheers, Susan;
-While you summed it up pretty well with your combinations of Alliteration's in "savage sharks", and others very demonstratively descriptive visions.
-"unlike any other these heartless creditors", Just like the words you use in this line they gut you Off in the Leave You out to dry.
-A fantastic picture that is so supportive and relative to your conceptual fame that no one could find one better.
-So many of these illicit cons on the telephone just waiting for a timid shy senior citizen to give away their money.
-Thanks for sharing this, Susan, and take care and have a good one.

Well done. Sad but true. People get into such messes. It is sad and there seems no really good answer except the Lord and a good education. So many drop out of school and I wonder what they think they are going to do with their lives. Others have poverty thrust on them thru sad circumstance.

Thank you for your poem and your author's notes. Your poem has a kind of social justice feel to it. Leeches and sharks are good metaphors. Vultures comes to mind as well if you needed more lines!

Your short verse tells a strong truth and gives good advice to "cash-tight" folks.
These places prey on those who can least afford it.
Thank you for sharing your message.

You hit the nail right on the head. Bloodsuckers, vile leeches, heartless and ruthless. You said a mouthful. They don't care who they prey on. It ought to be some kind of law to prevent these villains of their outrageous interest rates. Absolutely love the picture. Thank you and GOD Bless :)

Your poem depicts the anger that come from being duped. The world is full of opportunist waiting to pounce on those that have little and even less to lose. It all comes from a society that love above their means and buying into commercialism. If it sounds to good to be true I stay away from it. You've said a lot in few words and portray well the emotion.
