Good poem, Tom. It has the exhortation flavor of the Victorian poem,

I agree.

Do well - excellent opener and closer.

I have enjoyed both of your recent Exhortations. The rhythm and the rhyme scheme of this newly invented form are quite compelling. Congratulations on your 6-star creation! Also for providing two excellent examples of it. I have saved a note of it and will add it to my list of future forms to try.

That's poster material - to be hung in the front of every classroom. I think schools these days have done away with expectations so that no one's self-esteem will be "damaged" when they miss the mark. Perfect word choices!

What wonderful, positive advice and the achievement of these goals is something we proudly acknowledge. ( Especially in those we love )
I like the structure and concept of the poem and the flexibility it provides.
I do believe you are proudly able to say that you have taken your own advice and
have, indeed, done well.
:-) Shirley

Rudyard Kipling in his famous "IF" could do no better. You manage it in a neat 12 lines and run less risk of cruel parody into the bargain. I did think of replying in a Mephistophelian mood with an exhortation to do ill! But time pressure precludes!

You are on a roll with this new form of yours! How terrific you were able to capture your grandson striving to do his best and were inspired to create this Exhortation--he must be very proud. Again, I enjoyed your sentiment, rhymes and repeat. Well done! -Joan

I enjoyed your poem. I like your new format. The artwork could not have been more perfect. Your message is strong. Even if one is a garbage collector (trashman), and they do it to the best of their ability, then that is to be commended.

Good job. No changes. Thanks for sharing.
