Hi Jaq,

well I can see why this poem was the contest winner... the desire to gain the upper hand to mind control... good luck with that! No, only joking... our thoughts can be changed within the spark of a Neuron as you have so eloquently penned... I just love the positive tone of this construction... in anyone's world, or in anyone's mind, this is a winner!

With our thoughts we create,
positive outcomes,
James xx

    Lol James, you are right, if only we could harness all that energy in our minds how powerful would that be.

    Every day is a new challenge and it has to be met head on. Sometimes the clutter in my mind I allow hamper that progress, but in the end I get there.

    Take good care of yourself and Jade, light n love, Jaq xxx

great alliteration in no more my mind will be maligned

Very clever use of words and rhyming to describe the mind and what it goes through on a day to day basis. Perfect picture to accompany this poem as well. So well written.

Very nice poem. I like the rhyme and rhythm of it. I like the feeling it expresses. It is easy to read and you didn't appear to be struggling to get the right rhyming words.

Nicely done self analysis here. The rhythm is even and the mono-rhyme is done well.You have presented it well and the train of thought is clear and consistent

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is excellent, mystery writer.

Very sad and heart-rending plea for love and/or something better than just sh*t.

I had to look up 'zen' - a Japanese religion based on Buddhism, and my dicky has it capitalised. It's fine, or maybe 'zone' which is more understandable though I admit less poetic and imaginative.

2nd stanza has one too many syllables for perfect meter. Maybe:

'where love and joy are redefined' OR 'with love and happiness defined (or 'assigned')'

3rd stanza:

You start with an EMPHASISED syllable which throws the meter. Maybe:

'de-FEAT-est-THOUGHTS...'

I SEE YOU'VE MADE AMENDMENTS AND THIS IS NOW THOROUGHLY DESERVED OF MY SIXER.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

    Wow what a thorough review Ray's Hearsay. So glad you stopped by to point out the mistakes. Rhythm is not my best attribute, poetically that is :) x
