Very peppy poem about a storm. It's better to look at the cup as half full then half empty. You have accomplished that feeling here. Thanks for the lift.

Thank you for reviewing.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. It is hard to decide which will do the lesser harm to the country at this stage. They both have questionable backgrounds and agendas.

Comment from Pantygynt
Is "decided not to refrain" a negative or positive attitude? You people over there need to take a leaf out of our limey books. You need a third party. We have the Liberal Democrats. Vote for them and can't be blamed for anything because they never win. But vote for them and you will have made a decision.
So that's what you need a third party that both gropes women destroys all its emails.

Yeah, wonder what we could name it? The booby prize party?
Comment from barleygirl
The best part of your poem is that you have remained artistic with creative imagery (especially the opening stanza) even while expressing a more cerebral message. The next best part is the way you actually convey a sense of hand-wringing that can almost be felt from here. Good luck in the contest!

A well-written contest entry. Your background choice made the words easier to read, and completed the piece well. I think you completed the challenge of the contest. Good luck

Comment from William Ross
very good, nice write on the vote, can't see the difference between the two evils to pick one. Nicely done, good luck on this and have a good day.

Comment from Poetic Friend
Yes, this is a difficult election year, to say the least. I can't believe some of things that have occurred in this election. It seems like a bad reality show or soap opera. However, we must exercise our rights to vote. It is democracy.
Your poem handles the ugliness of the election with grace.

Comment from Joan E.
Thank you for sharing your indecision. I have seventeen ballot measures to vote on and am still uncertain about four of them, but participation is essential for our democracy to work. I liked your scattered rhymes and compelling use of "incisions". Best wishes in the contest and during the next four years! -Joan

Comment from rspoet
A very fine poem for the contest
that touches on the heart of democracy
It is easy to vote when the choice
is obvious as night and day
It's when the choice is difficult
that democracy is tested
For the choice made may well have vast implications
that ripple far beyond the present
I'm not quite as conflicted
Best wishes in the contest
and with your choice in the election

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good poem and rhyme.
-You present the problem
with this whole campaign,
leading up to Tues. very well.
-It is a time of decision, and many
aren't happy with either.
-There are other options,
but after considering them,
you decide they are "cowardly."
-Good conclusion.
-Good luck in the contest
and thanks for speaking what you think.
