***No truer words have been written... I read this piece several times, it seemed to sink in further with each reading. I admit I'm not much of a poet, I think I'm too long winded for that. I admire anyone who can express themselves and create feelings with so few words. They seem like words to live by...mind if I do? I hope that you continue to write and inspire the ones fortunate enough to read your work...I know I look forward to reading more. Keep up the good work...***

 IN my thougts and opinion, though this work was a bit redundant, this still was inspirational.Found

                                                       When you find something good

                                                                        Walk with it

                                                        When you have something good

                                                                         Run with it

                                                        When you finally love something good

                                                                          keep it

                                                        When something good finds you

                                                                       You know it

                                                         When something good has you

                                                                   Know it loves you

                                                                   Dont give it away

This was one of my favorite poems that I have actually ever read in my life. Good job.

 

 You must excuse the fact, Jim, that I am a student of religion, so I end up relating basically everything to that. But I've been thinking about how good your poems really are. At first blush, they always seem too simple to me, but on the other hand, they really connect to everyone because of their simplicity. And still they are far from simple to live, but in fact they can be lived as the dear Rusti Fae pointed out. It reminds me of the biblical book of Proverbs in that way (there the religious student comes out). At first proverbs seem to be common sense, and in a way they are, but they also have a depth to them that makes meditation worthwhile.

Once again I love how you structure your lines--using one set of lines with active verb commands and the other set of lines setting the conditions. Great job!
