Notes About The Poem

Recidivist

Released from prison.
Refused to follow
Rules explained to him;
Repeat offender
Robs convenience store.
Real smart, grasshopper!
Returned to prison.

Alexis Y. April 14, 2021 at 9:45 PM Hi Edward, You made good use of the letter R. It has a good rhythm and flow; nothing seems forced. If you do the crime you will do the time. Great job. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful evening:-) Alexis Edward Ibeh April 15, 2021 at 2:16 AM Thank you so much, Alexis:-) Have a blessed day, my friend...
