The Secret of Happiness!
A 15 Word Poem; Give, but expect nothing in return132 total reviews
Comment from Dean Kuch
I just wrote a poem along these same lines, about the exact same topic, Alcreator Litt Dear.
Like you I am of the mind that we get so much more satisfaction out of life when we give rather than receive.
As always very inspirational.

You illustrated and have written true words. If only more practiced this. The more you give the more you get, in some way or another. I believe you feed your spirit with every kind act you do. Happiness comes from the confidence you're living your life we. Nicely done.

This speaks of being selfless. Not expecting anything in return for your good deeds. Sage advice from a seer indeed. Be generous and you will be happy. Well said. Well done. Keep writing.

There are givers and there are takers, but I do think givers receive something back in a different way because they give with their hearts and as you say ask nothing in return

I like your clever use of adverbs in this. "Always / ever / truly" - the way you have used them, and the structure they give your poem - is wonderful. Great job and good luck in the contest!

Unusual conditions for this contest - you seem to have met the word/syllable count precisely, and there is a great message in this short poem.
The English teacher part of me doesn't like the punctuation at the end - the final line is not a complete sentence, so I would change the full stop to a comma at the end of the penultimate line.
Good luck.

Seemingly an oversimplified kind of 'secret of happiness'....at first
reading, yet the profoundness of it is in its intrinsic and unalterable
truths, that cannot be replaced or substituted for anything less than
the ones so brilliantly summarized in this stunning poem.
Fantastic pic too....thanks for sharing....Best of luck in contest!
