A great poem for thought. My joy is writing, however bad it is. I am an addict and it is better than alcohol or crack--such joy. Well done, Tom.

Thank you for sharing your over-brimming creativity with us. I enjoyed your new form filled with appealing exhortations, rhymes and repeats. I liked the pattern and the joy you captured in your photograph. Cheers and happy weekend- Joan

    We have never been to Norway--so, we booked a cruise from Norway to Iceland at the end of July! It should be fascinating to compare to December's journey to Antarctica--and cruising is so much easier than the land treks--especially over all the cobblestone sidewalks in Iberia! Smiles- Joan

Here's one I can relate to! Joy is where you find it, which is pretty much everywhere when you shift your perspective. It's the Law of Attraction in action, really. The more joy you perceive, the more will come your way.

This is certainly a form to play around with here is the antidote to all that happiness and get up and go. With tongue firmly in cheek then:

Turn in
When you feel shattered and tired out,
Confused, what are we all about?
Too quiet! Don't dare to raise a shout
About your pain
Been hurt again?
So much of poetry is sad,
Bewailing misery gone mad,
Little about which to feel glad.
It's raining hard,
Floods our back yard.
Turn in.

I enjoyed that - hop you did!

I very much enjoyed this 12 Line Exhortation. It has a happy lilt to it and the words are truly good advice. My only complaint would be that in lines seven and eight you seem to have a slight irregularity when you say "That's sitting right before you eyes" referring to chances, which is plural. Therefore "That is" would not be grammatically correct. You could say, "now sitting" or "some sitting" or somehow eliminate the contraction. I'm sure you can think of a way because you are quite a talented writer, obviously, to create this clever form of poetry. I do like this very much and hope there can be a solution to this miniscule problem.
