I don’t know about you, but some ads for public candidates are getting downright tiresome. Other campaign ads I champion for being positive and focused on the candidate appealing to their potential voters. This week I want you to write poems inspired by elections, candidates, voters, anything to do with the whole voting process. Perhaps you’d like to run for election, what kind of poem would you write to appeal to voters? What poem would you write to your chosen candidate? There is plenty of political fuel for the fire out there, so have fun!
Good luck to all of you who try it, please stop in next week for more…
