Poets and politicians both, Sleigh of tongue and double entendre, ........yes, so true. This poem is begun with these two marvelous lines. This is really a beautiful poem on poet and politician having a great outlook.10
What has begun well, ends well, thank you dear poet for your great feedback.
So true....! Borrowing your words, let me summarize.....Politicians go on and on while listeners moan. They are seldom deep, but pretty shallow! Their words and speeches are tedious and their tongue like an wounded snake drags its slow length along....! For poets and politicians, brevity is a virtue and a quality greatly recommended...! Footloose lines often go heedless.....! Beautifully and thoughtfully put!
Thank you dear poet, you may find time time to read the other two parts as well, if not.
