Awesome, i love the title which says it feels a lot of time. A lot of hatred the people are being provoked to and the many health care services being removed the website is really something serious. And an increasing tendency for bike race.
Have a nice day

Although he may have the country's best interest at heart, he has definitely hit a wall. You nailed it with your post! Good job. You summed it up well. :) I pray that things improve and our country sees some harmony. Very good summation with your simple but well written poem.

A very good comment on the Political atmosphere.Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all the news coverage and all the angst that we are bombarded with.

It seems this is directed strictly against Trump, (whom I did not vote for.) But it should really be seen more as an indictment at the fecklessness of a divided Republican party.

Okay, mysterious poet...I got your point in those few syllables.
No lamb in this entry? Wait...Trump's not dead yet!!

Nice job on this, however, the site says that I have to have
one hundred and fifty words for my review of a seventeen
word poem? How is that possible?

This short 5-7-5 grabbed my attention. Partially because of the picture, partially because of my curiosity which of the many aspects of the first 60 days would be focused on.

Even though I'm avoiding the brunt of news organizations and constant turbulence that is the polictical ... conversation? Can it be called a conversation? It doesn't feel like a conversation. Anyway, even though I'm in avoidance, this 5-7-5 clearly framed the aspect that there was a lot of confidence going in, a lot of grand gestures, but the current structure of the government just doesn't work quickly on much of anything... and a complicated issue stood like a brick wall to expectations and gesturing.

Entertaining presentation, clear and easy to read 5-7-5

The need to comment in only 17 syllables focuses attention on the important points.

I like the bold first line, and also the energy in line 2. Then you cap it off with that abrupt finish. All in all an excellent summary of Trump's brief tenure so far.

Good luck.

Steve

This seems to cover the bases for the contest rules. I wish you well, although I disagree with the simplistic and inaccurate implications behind this poem about Trump's the sixty days in office. Good luck to you.

Bahaha, it's soo true. I love the picture. There was a picture I saw earlier this week, it was a cute little baby, then they put Trump's picture by it. The baby's face and Trump's face were identical but the baby was so much cuter. Wonderful job with this. The health care thing really did throw him for a loop. We'll see what happens now
