This booms and busts moves in cycle, even his embrace in 2009 is his last embrace, still it would surely return in future.........a good write.....
final bite? it isn't yet Sandra...a lot more we can expect...sooner than later...first in the Dragon country...our neighbors...next? well, in our own where we worship serpents (Nagas) ! good piece on contemporary happenings...10
karma is a long snake and sooner or later the head reaches the tail and delivers the fatal bite...hopefully we learn from this see that greed amounts to nothing.....
truth very symbolically expressed...very well done
Beautiful piece of poetry, even though the markets continue ot oscillate...all I can see is Shaken sheikh...wow is the word
a fine poem just difficult to digest how a rich emirate is saddled with such a cash crunch, indeed a fine write by a economist poet 10 +++
Sandra, the clarity in which you write sends shivers down everyone of us as the financial serpent claims us one by one. Top marks for this thought provoking poem my friend. Hugs David
This is a very clever and witty poem, Sandra, and it's exceptionally well expressed in every line, a wonderful delight to read. One doesn't often see a poet so well versed with the financial world and able to write about it quite accurately as you have in this splendid poem! Carl.
A nice symbolic poem....my sentiments too about the financial crisis in this world....good write....
The seriousness in this theme provides me a great learning lesson as I 'm only much a home-bound woman, quite unaware of the same...I really enjoy reading this kind of your poems....thanks a lot Sandra
Such a downer is the beginning of your poem, econmics and poetry.
