Exceptional

"Ciao Master Poet:
The game never change. Only the player.

What goes up...comes down.

He who picks a rose...
Must accept the thorns that it bears.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked.
For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh...
Will of his flesh reap corruption."

See: Galatians chapter #6 and at verses #7 through #8a.

Excellent

I really admire how you crafted this poem. Especially the comparison to Rome's empire. It's powerful and really makes you think. Your ability to share this message in such a compact form is impressive!

I always appreciate you posting comments on my poems. Your words are encouraging.

I thought Combs would be an interesting topic but those voting don't think so.

I got one vote, if it is yours thank you.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best for the New Year!

Excellent

Outstanding rhythm alliteration about an exceptional celebrity. I can relate to all the media blitz from many outlets. Who knew Comb's behavior would create an award winning writing prompt entry.

Thank you so much for the kind words, much appreciated.

I wanted to write a poem about the scoundrel for a while.

Our world has become a dark place. I hope those who knew but kept quiet pay too.

And those who participate actively in these freak parties don't get off.
