Problems with our money these days
Outdistancing us in every way.
Very challenging times I fear
Economic woes I am afraid are here
Recession problems are not easy
Troubles with gas and food make us queasy
You know...it is sure affecting me.

... a good sharing
and aren't your thankful that you were not 'just born' for they, my friend, will feel the crunch more than we do! I now understand what the 'old people' used to share about the 'depression'... for us 'boomers' were totally spoiled and did not realize 'how good we had it' until lately! Eh? joy

Thanks Joy. It's not easy is it. I appreciate what you wrote here. Keep in touch.

As the reality sets in to the nation that has claimed to won the war, one has to wonder if it was worth it. I glance at the German and Japanese economy and I say hollywood really fooled everyone. I rest my case

So true.
People all over the country are in the same boat. pat, but you're making the best of it. Some of the best poetry ever came out of poverty and hard times, maybe you got something here. -

YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!
Thanks Ed. My words speak the truth to all of us.

It's affecting all of us hun. I hate how things are cramping our style. We have to think twice before even going to the movies, we may need the money for gas instead.

Isn't that the truth
You did an excellent job on how much so many of us are affected by the economy today. It is just outrageous for sure. I'm affected by it too. You did a excellent job with the imagery and the emotions and feelings that go with what is happening in America today. Thank you for sharing your gift to write poetry with reality with me. Excellently Done!!
Many Blessings

This is a nice acrostic. None of the lines seemed at all forced. Maybe it's just me, but I do think an acrostic should be left aligned though. Great poem!

You are too kind. Thanks for the comments!

EXCELLENT!
Great Job Pat! You have such a way of making a serious point but yet in a tone that leaves room for hope. I have never yet attempted an acrostic....I think I may have a little idea developing here, thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Jamie. I appreciate our friendship and your kind words. Need any help with my inspiration let me know.

The last line made me grin. I think it is true of all of us. This is pretty cute for a poem about a very serious subject. Keeping it light at least cheers us for a moment! Love the poem.
In the second line, the word "every" is singular as in "every ONE." The "ways" should be "way," I think. OR "every" could be a plural two syllable word instead. A conundrum.

Driving the point home
this is a finely tuned piece of poetry. The message and the ryhme woven tightly like the chassis and running gear of an Italian racing car. powerful words needing lightening fast reactions to keep us one the straight and narrow.... Rudolf

Thanks Rudolf.
I admire your honesty my friend. THANKS SO MUCH. Your brother in poetry, Pat Powers

money, money, money...must be funny...in a rich man's world! Do you remember that song!? Hard times are never easy but what goes around comes around...listen to some older people talking about the great depression era...Pam

Excellent Acrostic Pat
And then rhyming well also. Good job.
Subject is a bit scary to say the least. I am taking care of both of my daughters and their families as well as one old, old friend. Eating up my retirement quick.

A great Acrostic Bubba ~
Every line is penned with truth and deep thought.....makes one stop and look around......when everyone should be looking up to the man who is going to save them.....if they only ask......and believe....with no doubt attatched to their faith ~
It's time to see wealth back in our lives.......without seeing it, you can not atain it ~
Luv ya loads Pat,
Bear ~
