I saw some of that news report, and I'd have to agree, that woman went too far - after all, the office deserves respect, if not the man in it, and far be it from me to ascertain or judge anyway. But your poem rocks!

That was a pretty sorry affair. Attempts at comedy definitely backfired. Some did walk out, but the targets of the so-called jokes (Sarah Sanders and KelleyAnne Conway) stuck it out. They were very gracious. You are right on your 20-syllable count. The media mistakenly think they are the only ones who know anything. Excellent subject. judi

Without the literal meaning, this piece could be interpreted in a lot of ways, I liked the word play and the verbiage, it's a good piece of art. Good words make good work.

This speaks a true moral feeling and sentiment with a clear and strong expression of concern about the attitude and behaviour at press dinner; politics and civility in question; well written, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Your notes tell most of the story, the poem actually keeps it hidden and talks about it under cloak. The same with the photo, nothing disclosed all hidden and kept secret, maybe that is the entire problem.

    Yes, since it was limited to only 20 syllables I felt the notes wewre necessary. Thanks for reviewing.

reply by Swampfox1 on 04-May-2018
    True, they were necessary, but what I meant was reveal some reason as to what it is about in the poem itself, has to be a way, isn't there?
reply by the author on 04-May-2018
    Gotcha. I guess I didn't take into considerstion that others weren't as obsessed about it as I was. Or that they weren't even aware.
reply by Swampfox1 on 04-May-2018
    What I was getting at is like what you said in your first reply that the poem was too short and not enough room so the notes were necessary, I agree, but try to write it as though notes were not available. That is what I meant.

    Understood..will give it a shot when I have time. Thanks. Will be a challenge.

Your poem is an excellent commentary on that event! Superb word economy and fine use of alliteration. Clever use of personification too. The last two lines are nicely penned and leave a deep impact.

While I don't know the story behind this post, the message is clear. Sewer and Decency make the setting and its characters clear. "Dressed in discomfort" says so much.

    I put it in author notes. It was in response to the correspondence dinner.

Your brief poem addresses that embarrassing
dinner perfectly.
It was truly disgusting and your right. Those in attendance
should have walked out.
Strong words for the contest. I wish you luck.

    amendment rights to justify such bad behavior is ludicrous. Thanks for reviewing.
