Thanks

Your wisdom is profound in these few words. I certainly do not want to land on my face nor get "hung up". Thanks again, Dumpy Mark

I like

this little piece of simple wisdom for that; a little piece of simple wisdom. As a poem, I think that it could be fleshed out more. Not in length mind you, but in thought. I think the length is fine where it is. So therein lies the challenge, if I were you. Make it say the same thing, but more or more urgently. Mark W. Ps. Love the last line.

in

four lines you pack more power and open up more possibilities than most poets do with six or seven stanzas. seamless, fantastic job on this one.
