While helping and protecting, the greedy and the wealthy,

Randy, He was elected by just one vote Democracy they say had truly spoke? You've got to be kidding. A literate person would know to write spoken. Now all that our patriots knew and died for, they now know, ? Really? That's barely English. Whatever you studied in Scotland, it wasn't poetry.

It is frightening that DT has this power. Like a boy with a new toy.

Randy, I like your sentiments, but too many usage errors and most of all, a sing-songy element from the rhymes and attempts at meter. This kind of formal poetry died many years ago. If you want to become a better poet, immerse yourself in good contemporary poetry. You'll improve. Check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Let me know how you like it. Yrs, JC

I disagree I have study writing besides here in the states but also at Edinburgh Unversity and at the University of Glasgow. Many had said for years print is dead, (it is not) , many had said poetry is the language of the romantics and it has been replaced by song, (they are wrong) . My type of poetry especially the lattest, is printed by my permission in papers around the world. So, I am sorry if I high.y disagree with you, and if I don't visit your webpage. Peace Randy L.
