Mark Koplin Poet Quatrain

Fabric of Moral Decay

Swiftly faltering, the fabric that bonds
Bovarism intrudes, with stealth it hides
Conjuring depraved for all to bear oath
Longing for days past, dignity and pride

Severance now square, local youth here wage
Declining in part, our moral picture
Sheltering family with bitter cost
As decay increases so does stricture

Sigrid Ermine September 29, 2020 at 5:46 PM Greetings, Mark. Congratulations on your Win.! While I understand the overtone of your poem. Observation and warning of a lurid society, I had to look up the word bovarism. Then oddly (rather) discover this is my condition.... Wow, word warranted here.... Step one I suppose...! Mark Koplin September 30, 2020 at 4:39 AM Thank you Sigrid! I appreciate your comments and visit

Tom Cunningham September 22, 2020 at 11:40 PM What a terrible selfish world we live in with many choosing evil over good. Mankind will pay for his sins, make no mistake. Good luck Tom Mark Koplin September 23, 2020 at 6:25 AM It gets worse every year. Keep the faith my brother
