COVID RELIEF NOW!
If you could eat words, then sure, thoughts and prayers-
But what of the thousands lined up for some food?
They need deed doers more than just sayers!
If you could eat words, then sure, thoughts and prayers-
But each day that goes by tells them nobody cares;
Cake-eating suits finding such hunger rude.

This is fantastic, Kumar! It’s easy to stand on a soapbox but without any deed or action, words are just words.
I had to research triolet when I saw the comp. it would really put my brain to work.

Hey! You can repost it ( I think )! Jack edited the rules ( I think )! I wasn't confused, but now I kinda am! Not over your poem, but the rules of the comp! LOL!

I don’t think it qualifies because it’s not in first or third person and it’s not really about someone per se (originally was a response to Edible Words but it’s pretty oblique in that regard). Thanks for the RL add!

It doesn't have to be about anyone anymore? I told you, his revision confused me! LOL!
