Stephen Pennell Poet Free verse

A Politicians Promises

Your Words fall like rain drops
And there meanings disappear
They just melt away 
Like a snow flake on a rainy day
Politicians promises soon fade away  

Would I like to buy a chocolate  fire guard
Or the autograph of the man in the moon
a bubble for a spirit level 
they are snake oil salesmen 
Politicians promises soon fade away  

like unicorns and gorgons
Politicians promises are myths 
they disappear like will o wisp 
appear like a genie of the lamp on election day
Politicians promises soon fade away

Jenish Somadas November 26, 2019 at 7:55 AM Your poem made me wonder why politicians are the same everywhere.. Even poets are different at different places.. Why not politicians? Good poem.. Stephen Pennell November 26, 2019 at 9:10 AM think they are all looking for power control where ever in the world they are and are more than happy to tell you what you want to hear to get that power :-) thank you
