Open the Borders

... Let's use our logic to determine  

       - - It's long overdue - - 
We need to open the borders
It's time for business to thrive once more
Tourism definitely experienced suffering enough

        - - Let's lobby for this - - 
Lots of people will be reunited with loved ones
Schools now functioning in full force
Simple shopping trips completed quickly

     - - Government, Get it done!! - - 
Trucks no longer need to pile up in queues by the border
Goods delivered more quickly to distributors
Citizens smoothly flowing from one county to the next

      - -  We're without much sense - - - 
To think the virus won't return in some dimension
Undoubtedly it will worm its hideous germ in further from here 
Possibility of complete suppression is ridiculous! 

     - - The cure is nigh, don't worry - - 
Together, our country will see brighter horizons 
Indeed, the entire World will see heightened benefits 
Of the sensible policy to reopen closed borders

John Watt August 29, 2020 at 8:40 PM Ah, I read "Rejection Letter" first, then this one. I imagine this is your true entry and the other was just a bit of funning around. You are certainly up for a great challenge! This one read very smoothly, and with a strong message. Well done and best of luck to you, Sigrid ~ John Sigrid Ermine September 6, 2020 at 8:52 PM Thanks, John. I actually decided to swap them after writing this.... A risk for sake of humour is worth it, in my book.! Ta for feedback. Hugs

Bobby May August 27, 2020 at 5:58 PM Amazing, great job my friend!! but at the bottom there is an "A" in Lipogram lol

Rama Balasubramanian August 27, 2020 at 8:23 AM With your idea, might just try. Thanks for boosting my confidence. Warm regards, Rama Sigrid Ermine August 27, 2020 at 1:37 PM You're a darling! .. even a rejection letter to poem contest Sponsor. I refuse to submit, write, etc! In your silly competition - my skill is superior etc. etc. This could be a humerous one.! Sigrid Ermine August 27, 2020 at 1:30 PM You're a darling! .. even a rejection letter to poem contest Sponsor. I refuse to submit, write, etc!

Rama Balasubramanian August 27, 2020 at 3:54 AM Great write that too without A. When contest came my only thought was how is this possible. Lot of hardwork would have gone on this. Take care. Warm regards, Rama Sigrid Ermine August 27, 2020 at 6:57 AM Thank you so much. Well I think Emile's next Contest will be the 'e' lipogram, which is far worse! I cheated and just collected a few words without 'a', then stayed on topic. Do one, I know you can, and it will soar!
