The importance of healthy thinking54 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Thoughts, presented in six, seven-syllable, ABCB-rhymed quatrains, holds the answer to a lot of solutions we face every day here on plant Earth. Good to lay it out for us to read and consider. Nice job with this.

Nomi338,
Your poem speaks of wisdom. Change must start
from the inside. Healthy thoughts bring healthy results.
Owning the fanciest uniform and the best equipment
does not make one a good ballplayer. Thank you for
sharing.
Blessings,
Richie

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork
and presentation, Nomi.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-I like your poem very much,
especially in the beginning
as you tell the story of the
man who changed his face
because of negative feelings
toward his father.
-But that didn't help because
he didn't look deep in his heart.
-The final two verses are very good, too.
-I enjoyed your well written poem.

I absolutely agree. A man is what he thinks. If you breed ill will and evil thoughts, you become the devil. Good , wholesome thoughts however almost always bring sunshine to everyone that surrounds you. An excellent write. Thanks for sharing.

Blessings, and thank you for sharing this excellent poem. As a Pastor, I often find myself making the same point. Jesus said, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, but many people find it hard to understand that the heart is what truly matters and we need to guard it diligently for out of it flow the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23)

You are absolutely correct. The heart feeds the mouth, that is a real problem. It is well documented that the tongue has caused more damage than a well placed bomb. Uncontrolled use of the tongue can destroy worlds.

Indeed sir, the power of life and death is in the tongue.
Comment from Janet Foor
This is an excellent and timely poem for our current days.
My favorite lines are:
Finally, one day he learned
change must take place in the heart
This is very true.
Thank you for sharing

Comment from Susan Larson
I don't know if you meant for the picture you chose to serve as a metaphor for your poem, but as we mold what we want out of sand, so we can mold what we want to be by our thoughts. As water and weather can erode our sand sculptures and we have to constantly rebuild. So can negatively erode our positive thinking and we have to keep working at keeping ourselves "up."

Very astute of you to notice that and come to that conclusion. I looked at over twenty images until I found this one and knew immediately that this was the one I wanted. Thank you for your comments.
Comment from A. Willow Bends
This is a wonderful piece of poetry. You have given clean and clear advice within a poetical format. Not always easily done. I do agree about healthy thoughts and I am glad I read your poem this very morning. I am recovering from a surgery and have been a bit down, whining to my husband that I can do NOTHING right now. He answered that maybe I should focus on what I can do rather than what I cannot. (He's so smart!)
Your poem confirmed what he said and I CAN go write something this morning. Great job with this!

Excellent job! Negative thoughts are toxic and they feed off people that are depressed, have addiction issues, low self esteem, zero positivity and someone that is always grumpy;-(
Great message!
Thank you for sharing;-)
Many blessings to you;-)

Thank you. It comes as no surprise that many people who are suicidal suffer from negative thoughts.

True!

Comment from DeboraDyess
Well, darn. I wish I had an exceptional rating left to give you. This certainly deserves it.
What a well-penned bit of wisdom for a hard, harsh time. Thank you for it. My favorite parts:
Spent lots of time talking,
but was still misunderstood
and
The thoughts that you are thinking,
may one day, gain control of you
and, actually, pretty much the whole thing. :)
Be blessed,
Deb
