A Hammer a Day Keeps the Assholes Away
Doggerel Dave said:

Neva thought of the hammer - mine has always been the Majic Instant Vaporizer; I\'d rid the world of idiots I encounter and simultaneously reduce the world population to manageable levels.
Good write - I must suss out some of your others...

The Weight of Every Choice
sorenbarrett said:

A concept I have pondered many times over the years. It is well worded in this poem that contains good rhyme and flow. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction is the law but as on a snooker table it is almost impossible to predict all the ending positions of all the balls on a break. What will the consequences be of an action today in an hour, day, year, decade, or millennia.

Cohens v. Virginia
Fína Elara 🌙 Petra Patrice said:

This poem beautifully captures the tension between state and federal authority. I love how the strophe, antistrophe, and epode mirror the debate and resolution, and the language makes the Supreme Court’s role feel both heroic and essential.
