Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s interesting how poetry can evoke such strong reactions—sometimes it challenges us, and that’s part of its power. Your comment highlights an important point about the role of poetry as social commentary—it’s meant to provoke thought and stir emotions, even if it unsettles us. Oh...I loved your use of "trumped" in your reply. Nicely done, good sir! more »

You captured the essence of sarcastic poetry beautifully! Its ability to be both intriguing and slightly perplexing is what makes it such a powerful tool for social commentary. Your observation highlights how this form of expression challenges us to think more deeply—great insight! Thank you for taking the time to read and then comment on my poem. more »

, What an intriguing and thoughtful way to phrase it...mis-inspired! Your comment highlights the complex nature of inspiration, even when it's rooted in differing perspectives. It's fascinating how words hold such power—to challenge, to unite, and to provoke deeper thought. Bravo to you as well for your sparking reflection! more »

, I don't think I'll ever look at an egg the same way again. :-)

, I appreciate your comment. You took the poem as intended a socially critical take on the priorities of some Americans.

, thank you!! I enjoyed developing the story and crafting the poem. I am glad you enjoyed reading it.

, thank you for the kind feedback. I had the aid of an online translation tool and believe the following is the translation (or close to it) in English. You certainly see what I was trying to achieve with the poem. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
"This is a socially critical poem and effectively conveys its concepts. Phrases such as "hero," "breakfast table," and "their wages were silenced" are excellent, and the egg is an appropriate symbol for the economic concept and social instability." more »

Thank you for the feedback. Certainly, I understand all people do not agree, which is or should be expected. Thank you for appreciating the poem for what it is...a take on the 2024 election.

Enjoyed very much!

A moving reminder about the human cost of war.

Thoughtful and containing a good measure of wisdom.

Nicely done. I enjoyed reading it.
