Camelot Deja Vu

   In the name of a certain Kennedy
     I hope you'll take me seriously

   Ask not what 2024 can do for you
     Ask what you can add
                    ~ and follow through

Gershon, your poem is a clever and thought-provoking piece that pays homage to the legacy of the Kennedys. The line “Ask not what 2024 can do for you, Ask what you can add” is a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in shaping our future. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations, Gershon, on POTD. I enjoyed reading your rhyme. It's simply expressed but gives sound advice to all who read it.

Way to go with POTD! I know your poems and others are their own 'follow throughs', which is a start.

Interesting that you noticed this, David. You're right: It is a start. But where's the finish line? ~ Ken Knott Si

Awesome poem Gershon! I love this!! Congratulations on your POTD dear friend, this was well worthy of the placement! I am amazed, truly, as I was sharing a video with my kids and grandkids of the spectacular speech given by JFK after my sister blessed me with sending me a commemoration plate of the late great John F. Kennedy, as she knows I have great respect for him. This is a spectacular POTD, and I will save it in my faves :)

Wow. What enthusiasm you've shown for this little ditty, Bj. Many thanks, my friend, gw

I think JFK would approve, G. Congrats on POTD, as well.

January 4, 2024 at 7:17 PM

I sure hope JFK would approve...

January 4, 2024 at 10:08 AM

Clever POTD recipient. :o)

Abundant congratulation on POTD, GW. In a take take world, your give give solution sure is a novel idea. I wonder how many will give it a go.

January 4, 2024 at 9:53 AM

Thanks, Terry. I'm struggling to come up with something worthwhile that I can contribute. Hint: I don't think it's poetry. Happy 2024, Gershon

Congratulations G on POTD! Anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy (Independent) secures spot on Utah’s 2024 presidential ballot. I do not agree with his conspiracy policies. But Deja vu’? Way off. Kennedy has embraced unfounded conspiracy theories about COVID-19, claiming the virus was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people from infection. Frequently spread misinformation about the effectiveness of vaccines. If elected, he promised to order the National Institutes of Health to stop studying infectious diseases. Oye vey!

January 4, 2024 at 9:55 AM

Actually, I was referring to John F. Kennedy... Nothing to do with Robert F.

January 4, 2024 at 9:15 AM

Am I on topic? Healthy New Year GW!

Congratulations on the POTD recognition Gershon. Boy, do I wish we were back in those Kennedy Camelot days. Act locally is good advise even for those poets that aren't political here. Enjoyed.

January 4, 2024 at 9:58 AM

Indeed. Camelot seems so distant now. Thanks, Nancy.
