Amazing! Every one I know was amazed at Trump's behavior. He said some unforgiveable thing He was never a patriot. And he should expect no forgiveness for his affront to our country. A very timely contest entry. Excellent. Best of luck in the contest. Linda

I'm pleased you enjoyed and, yes, we agree. :))
Comment from JDRBAR
Without the picture, this is well done. However, I'm not sure if you are implying that Trump is a traitor or a patriot. Could you clarify that for me? Good luck in the contest.

I leave that up to the reader. Thanks for the well wishes. Personally, I lean to the latter. :))

Thanks for the clarification. I lean with you.
Comment from Bill Schott
This four-line antonym poem, Toe to Toe with the Russkies, finds the juxtaposition of realities in our President by looking at recent actions and making a likely observation.

Exactly. Thanks for the keen analysis. :))
Comment from Gloria ....
Oh, an exceptional antonym poem and also apropos to the political climate of the day. The POTUS clearly doesn't align himself with America, but then he has always taken advantage of the US for his entire life, so why could we expect him to be any different now.
Excellent and best wishes to you in the contest. Love the Russkies tape.

I truly can't imagine why anyone expects anything but vintage Trump from Trump. What astonishes me is that it's acceptable to so many people. They should change that scenario where Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and not lose any votes to Trump could go to Russia and kiss Putin's ass and not lose any votes. Thanks for the insightful review, Gloria. :))
Comment from Dean Kuch
And in my humble opinion (which really doesn't amount to a hill of means in the grand scheme of things), Donald Trump is one of the biggest traitors in our nation's storied history.
When Trump opens his fat pie-hole to speak ( providing he's not Tweeting instead) I don't ask myself "What would Jesus do?" I ask myself, "What would Ronald Regan do?"
Nice work, Michael.
Seventeen syllables, just as the doctor ordered.
Best wishes to you in the antonym poetry contest.

Comment from rspoet
Well, you've hit the nail on the head with this one
But I'm not the least surprised about Trump, his ego won't allow him to admit
the Russians influenced the election.
Still his supports will follow him all the way to Moscow.
Good luck in the contest.

Excellent poem! You are correct some Presidents can be traitors, but yet we can't talk about it. Liars and cheaters should be punished. No mistakes in your poem. Your message is being well said. Great job!

Comment from kiwijenny
Hmmmm he'd never go toe to toe or get anywhere without appearing at all. That they met...and some of it was between them alone..is a good thing...America won't be pushed over anymore
I like the poem's form and the use of antonym'
God bless

Meeting is, indeed, a good thing. We agree on that point. Thanks so much. Blessings. :))
Comment from Michele Harber
Very interesting choice of antonyms, and excellent examples given for the two opposing words. Your title, of course, puts it all in context. How sad that, even without the title, any reader would have known to what event you were referring. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from mally mack
The Patriot/Traitor Correlation is wonderful. However in 2018, where people are so divided, it seems that perhaps readers need more recent past history lessons. Image choice should be non-bias in this case and inclusive of other former leaders and Presidents of the U.S.

I appreciate your opinion. However, that has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. You should base your review on the quality of the writing and not your opinion of the content. You're penalizing me because you don't agree. But, no worries. :))
