Whoa! Clever and well done!!
Nice work!!! This was complex!
Excellent words for the challenge
This poem is concise and thought-provoking in its exploration of the contrast between those who have power and those who do not. The use of parallel structure and rhyme scheme adds to its impact and reinforces the message of the poem. The repeated juxtaposition of "people" and "paupers" highlights the divide between those who have a say in the world and those who do not, and the different choices they make. The contrast between "passion" and "passive", "pretty" and "pity", "proper" and "ponder" is particularly effective in highlighting the different priorities and values of the two groups. The use of the word "prey" in the final line is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of those who are less fortunate. Overall, this poem is a compelling commentary on the inequalities in our society and the different paths that people can take based on their circumstances. 👍
Good one 👍
Very nice!
