A 15 Word Poem; Give, but expect nothing in return132 total reviews
Comment from LisaMay
So it isn't a secret any more. The secret is out!
I see the seer has got it solved: it is all about having a generosity of spirit, to give more and more, thinking of others and not expectantly asking "what's in it for me?"

This is a very well-said verse about what many people would agree is one of the secrets to happiness. Truly, sometimes the best things come in small packages. Thank you for the poem.

Your poem has a very insightful message. But when you break it down, it's easy to see all the effort you put into this super short poem. Good job and good luck in your contest.

Hi Alcreator,
This is another excellent piece of writing from you, and once more, a good read for me. You are able to write the simplest of suggestions for living life right with making the message pack an impact. Great job. Good luck in the contest.

You have done a very effective job with the order of the words! Nicely done. Correct number of words and syllables. Advice offered to which all should pay attention. Thank you, Seer! Right on and Write on!

"The Secret of Happiness", is short succinct and very much to the point. Each line of this talented poet's work is woven with the golden threads of truth. To me this is a six, but I only have fives left.

Beautifully constructed acrostic poem here. Early in life I was told we never get back as much as we 'put in' in life and your poem together with illustration beautifully portrays this in true form.

Very concise explanation of what is 'happiness.' I have asked that question for the past 40 years and there you are,
telling me in a poem. Thanks for sharing.

It is more blessed to give than receive. I really liked your short poetry piece and it's sentiment. The more I give, the happier I am. I love to give to others with my writing and encourage, bless and challenge perspectives. I also love to give the gift of laughter and wisdom as I have seen and experienced much!
All my best,
Sally
