Love it love it love it! The subtlety of your humorous poem and the Emperor decked out in his long red tie is priceless, leaving no doubt as to whom you are referring. I laughed out loud. Great submission for this contest! Wishing you luck!

Comment from Bill Schott
This epigram, The Mighty Emperor, presents a brief, memorable poem which seems to pull the President into this latest interpretation of the Emperor's New Clothes. Yes, he is highly susceptible to flattery, which every world leader knows, including the Ruskies, Chinese, and everybody else knows.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hahaha...
Nice take on that classic children's story, The Emperor's New Clothes, Anonymous Poet.
I may be wrong but I also suspected a jab at our country's current Leader in Large...I mean, in Charge, but I won't mention any names just in case I'm mistaken.
Good write and good luck!

Aw, rats... and I thought I was being more subtle than that! Thanks for enjoying this piece... Honestly, I try to avoid politicizing, but in this case, the pen just got the better of me! Thanks again for the great review!

Hello!
A witty epigram to which I am certain virtually everyone can relate. The photograph is none too subtle, I'm afraid. Best wishes!

An excellent entry in this epigram poetry contest, this is an obvious enigma, were the subject should be apparent, but it is deliberately not, really it could be any ordinary megalomaniac, well done, an excellent entry in this poetry contest, blesings, Roy

Emporer should be Emperor - otherwise a fine write with great presentation and a message I often think about- how much we are fooled into thinking things are great becaue other people say they are? Well done and good luck in the competition Love Meia xx
