Comment from Cindy McIntyre
Wow! Well-written. This was not an easy writing prompt/contest. I'm impressed with your 15 words/25 syllables and the underlying message your words produced. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent advise in the well written 15 word poem.
Nice choice of artwork to compliment your work.
I especially liked the second line. When we expect nothing in return - ever.
Well done
Blessings

This is a clever way to fulfill the contest requirements as well as deliver a true and uplifting message. (And it's a happy-accident acrostic to boot!) Only one suggestion, see what you think - What if you used dialogue punctuation?
"Give always more,
Expect nothing in return ever!
Truly, be happy forever."
Says a seer!
That's it. Good luck in the contest!

You incorporate the two requested words in seamlessly. I love the notion of being happy from the act of generosity as this builds not only good karma but good juju!

Your theme of giving is so true. We become happy when we give. Your second line is full of wisdom, expect nothing in return. That is what makes giving so important. Excellent use of words.

The only problem with giving, is the proverb, "Give and it shall be given back to you, overflowing, pressed together and shaken, shall be in your lap." so we give to get! Heh heh, but you are right, a good tree produces good fruit. An excellent entry in this contest. Good luck, blessings, Roy
