Hello Friend,
Nice piece of poetry having mixed flavor of rhyme and free verse, and beautifully depicting that greatness of the whole nation can be achieved by helping one another to rise and grow!
Of course, a nation is writ large of an individual.
Laudable Attempt!!
BEST OF LUCK in the contest.

Comment from karenina
As we struggle with so much divisiveness it is a soothing balm to read this verse...
Reminding us that we need not be the same to be united in our love for country.
Loved the flow of this...
"Greatness can be found quite simply by accepting."
I agree!

Comment from Mary Vigasin
I hope this wins the contest. It is thoughtful, intelligent, and free of the divisions we now see.
This line says it all" "putting our best Faith into each other and doing good encouraging one another to get up and go! "
Best wishes and regards,
Mary

Comment from Janet Foor
Great advice throughout this "Make America Great Again" poem. Your lips to God's ears. You had me right up to the "common Sense" line but sadly that seems to be lost wherever we go today.
Well done
Blessings

Comment from dragonpoet
This poem is full of patriotism and truth from words, to artwork, to font color and color scheme. It is true that we all have to do our own part and be accepting of others' physical and idea difference to make our country strong again.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Well, I absolutely love what you've written here; the premise, that greatness must begin with you and me, should be the message our leaders are sharing.
Good flow, love the red, white, and blue fonts. I also like the mix of rhyming, then free verse. The switch-up makes it interesting.
Nice job and good luck.

Pam, I am honored by your validation, thank you!
Comment from Michael Cassar
Your poem brings to the surface the most crucial element of "greatness". It lives in our hearts and minds; it makes us amenable to be selective in both our thinking and words; it gives us capacity to listen and decipher truth from fiction. One could go on and on about inner greatness, a close relationship to inner happiness. Wonderful work. I like your choice of colors for the poetry. Shakespearean verses have an impact. 'to thine own self be true'.

Many great axioms recalled and perhaps a few invented.
I don't believe your changing colors, though inventive, does you any favors. Why did you choose to? Also, it would help to increase font size.

Hi Tom it was a suggestion. I knee-jerk reacted to perhaps wrongly.
Comment from Regina Elliott
This fine write deserves 6 stars, but I ran out of them.
You have a longing for us
all to help each other, and that
is noble. I think so many of
us need to try kindness more.
My very best wishes for the
contest. Many blessings to
you. ~

Comment from Sanku
I absolutely agree with you .An edifice becomes strong if the base and the individual stones are strong .I enjoyed your glances into Shakespearean plays
I would add one more -the law makers should not be power- greedy.Hope you will get the prize.
