Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is succinct and very well put. You seem to take a neutral stance, which is highly commendable. You make excellent points and speak for a lot of us, as we hope for the election results to be over, and "for peace to guide us, on which we can depend." A powerful ending, and one I believe we can all agree on. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in a poem.
Take care and have a good day,
Jesse

Dear Jesse, thank you for your comments and review. I wrote the poem back in May, when I had no idea how things were going to go in the election. Dove

Hello Dove.
It was just as true then as it is now. That is a sign of a good poem--when it stands the test of time.
Have a great day.
Jesse
Comment from Wendy G
Yes, a poem for these times, certainly, and well expressed, with a sense of frustration that no choice is clear, for politics is too often a game people play for a claim to fame. Looking forward to dependable peace!

You are so right when you go to the election you feel like going to war. You have to trust your generals for better or worse. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from J. Raphael
Your rhyming scheme worked and keep me reading. Very nicely crafted i form and style. It "tuned right in" to the politics of today. Very well done-do you have more-you seem to be good at this-R

Dear Raphael, thank you for your "exceptional" rating and your comments. I wrote this back in May, that's why one line said "Who will make it into the Oval (office)?" Now we know! And I certainly hope our country will improve and be all that she is cut out to be! Dove
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Politics is the same the world over especially in democratic circles as the public are fickle and often believe lies and cant see the truth because of fake news, it is a minefield and you brought the chaos of politics here in your words Donna, love Dolly x

Comment from Lucy de Welles
Descriptive poem of relevant current topic. Picture well selected for text. Colors emphasize subject well. Stanzas with decreasing lines is interesting and attractive on the page. Many will agree with author's conclusion. Yes, there is an alternative to solution to this madness!
Nothing to improve here.
Thank you for the opportunity to review your work
Well done!

Comment from Mary Furlong
you have put into words what so many people feel. There's not much rhyme or reason to today's political scene. But at least you added some rhyme to it. Sometimes your lines lose the meter, For instance, 'pound the pavement, make a statement' is an excellent rhyme. Adding that bit about the evening news detracts from it. Less is more sometimes. All in all, though, I enjoyed this.

Dear Mary, thank you for your review and comments and suggestion. Now that I think about it, the part about evening news seemed a little detracting, I agree with you. I will go in and edit. Dove
Comment from Y. M. Roger
I'm gonna have to go with 'No' in answer to your question there at the end, my lady. :) ;) And it seems that the political games will never end... sigh. :)
You do have a great rhyme scheme although there isn't a discernible rhythm throughout... Oh, how peaceful it would be without the politics, yeah?!! ;) :) Thanx for sharing! :)

Comment from artisart4u
I enjoy reading this and it made sense to me why can't we use peace to guide us. But if we did we wouldn't have politics. Politics is debating with one another to make an agreement.
Your poem rhymes well, I like the black background with white font and the picture of our past president Obama.
Good luck with your poem.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Just once before I die, I'd like to be excited about voting for a Presidential candidate--instead of voting for the one who terrifies me less. Your poem makes excellent use of specific examples to convey a message about the
workings and uncertainties of an election.
