I liked your positive conclusion with light at the end of the tunnel! It's amazing how much of the world is suffering in these fractured economic times. Your quatrains conveyed the mood well, and I admired your rhymes. -Joan

My favorite lin, "All we can do is pray." The truth is God is in control and if we stay close to Him we'll be ok. Nice poem and perspective!

God Bless!

Great poem about a subject that is hard to write about. We all are feeling the dark cloud of recession over us. I like the bright spot at the end, that all hope is not lost. Congrats on the All Time Best!

The rhythm and rhyme in the poem are good and the poem sounds great when read aloud. I like your rhyme choices- sorbet/day and disclosed/predisposed (very inventive).

This is a good illustration of how bad could lead to worse. And it probably will until the real intervention comes. The one keep praying for.

Good use of abab rhyming in your quatrains, Robina.
The house market froze - housing market
good alliteration in people promise and good consonance of B sounds in bouquet nor sorbet
good consonance of P sounds in play/predisposed/pray
Excellent social/political commentary :-) Brooke

predispose'
an interesting word

why use the apostrophe at all? Was it to give a softer ending to help your poem?

That is an interesting thought...clever...

    No syllable counting difficult for me and thought it was nessesary, but it is not.
    Thanks for noticing, will change.

I love how you choose a subject most people would avoid for your poem. I also love the overall rhyme scheme. Good job on showing how good times will come again. Excellent.

The recession has hit us all very hard. You are afraid to make a move in case it is the wrong one. One day the stock market seems to be okay and then it plunges. Fears for everyone! Nicely written, about a sour subject!
