Danetta Barney Poet Rhyme

Yes-Men and Money

From behind the leather chair
Dictating orders, not here, there
Pointing, yelling, demanding
His presence, his money commanding
Yes-men fumbling, stumble to be first
Resembled blessings, hidden curse
Rising and falling the market unsure
Counting heartbreaks more to endure
The money train derailed a ways back
Leaving a trail of none intact 
Contradictions, predictions of greedy hands
The love of money expands

Keith Bickerstaffe November 30, 2015 at 10:14 PM So well conceived and rendered... I love the rhyming and cadence. Some really powerful phrases... '...yes-men fumbling, stumble to be first,' '...contradictions, predictions of greedy hands,' examples of in-line rhyming. Cool! Best wishes, Keith 7 Danetta Barney December 2, 2015 at 12:03 AM Thank you. :D
