Wolverine Poem Example

Frightened By the Polls

Frightened By the Polls

As frightened as a wolverine in a man-made metal trap,
The politician crawled out from under his rock.
Afraid, after his voting record was revealed,
He avoided facing his constituency and their votes.
Never had he seen such scathing, waving, hating arms.
A people’s representative turned belly-up.
One Senator, a rejected self-server, voted out!
His crown fell into the black mire.
Peaceful realms of his mind were jolted.
The plaza of his heart unfettered.
Sorrowfully, for him, self-serving statutes were stifled.
Laughing loudly his bloodthirsty opponents celebrated.
Their fun was short lived.  
They, too, were soon hung out to dry on the pole, at the polls.
Because they failed to honor the value of our forefather’s demands,
Because they had misrepresented their voters again and again,
Because Americans stood tall and took Freedom’s stand,
They voted out self-servers and voted in honest men.
An entirely new era in Washington began.
The continuation of freedoms as our ancestors planned. 
Constitutional guarantees for freedom were revived.
Soon, sunshine shone its smiling face upon ordinary people. 
Society reclaimed her power.
Love, tolerance, respect, and individuality thrived.
God bless America.

Poetic vehicles used: alliteration, assonance, metaphor, parallelism, personification, rhyme, satire, simile, 
synecdoche, and metonymy.  Written for Deborah's contest, but it's the wrong form.  Oops.  Thanks for the lessons, Deb.  SMILES.
