THE WHOLE WORLD SMELLS A RAT

Well, my dear friend, this is something else we have in common. Smoking out all the rats from our government. One at at time, starting with the top, will be fine with me. I think maybe we need to start a revolution against all political rats. This is a fantastic statement. Powerful, well-stated. My congratulations to you! Rita

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
