A very well-written six-word poem. When we exercise to do good to others. Good deeds will be returned in ways we never expect it. Our souls will be happier than ever before.

This is really good. In its brevity, your poem spoke volumes and volumes.

I love your play on words with "feats." Very clever word choice.

Also, I love the wisdom that lies within these six words.

Good luck in the contest. This poem certainly has winning potential.

Excellent six word poem. You are quite right I did have to read it out loud to fully appreciate it.
It then became apparent. Very clever. I wish you luck in the competition.

Hello,
Great lesson/message in these so few words.
I like the comparison of exercise with the body to reach a goal for the mind/spirit.
Nicely done.

Very clever and unique. Great pun. Imaginative and effective. good entry for the contest. My only suggestion pertains to flow and enjambment. I suggest using a dash or semicolon. Examples:

Exercised bare feats --
make happier souls ~


Exercised bare feats;
make happier souls ~


Or even use parenthesis:

Exercised bare feats
(make happier souls)


Or spacing to sculpt phrasing cadence:

Exercised
bare feats
make
happier souls ~


Good luck!

Warmly rd

This speaks taking physical exercise for keeping body fit and taking exercise bare feats make souls happier as the poet gets this sort of feeling in course of practice; I liked.
