On parting with parton '

With glossy lips and many quips, she 
Busted onto our screens, 
Midst applause she chortled
And  careened.' trod the boards, and praised the Lord, made
A hoard with dollywood, it all looked 
good,
Then she went obscene, was a vax-keen
Queen, pumping that song, it was oh so wrong..Yet let God alone judge, He alone sees
Through all the fudge.)

Joe, your poetry vividly depicts someone stepping into the spotlight and making an impact. Its unique word choices and powerful rhythm make it lively and full of personality. The phrases that equate success with controversy are intriguing. It's cute and funny.

Hi Sotto people are so complex..You See sometimes a big fuss made Over small issues' and shallow concern, to someone which becomes apparant one the incident ends or continues long enough to cost those who get involved more than they expected.' Then there are those who stick the course.' Varied are the hearts of humanity.)
