Hi Tim,


This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The poem is about voting for those who we think will lead us to a better future only to find that they have not. We face this reality all the time in our lives. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
