Hi Bill, I tend to make sure my
body is a temple for Reese's
peanut butter cups. The last
line I sure practice too. I think
I help my mind by writing.
Your writing is superb, and
you have a good sense of
humor. All the best ~

The first two lines were good, but that last line was hilarious! You got the syllable count right, and the subject was fun. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Excellent entry for the 5-5-5 writing prompt contest.

Good syllables count and connection between lines with nice presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.

Good luck in the contest.

I particularly like that last line, which breaks apart the semi morality ofbthe first two. They are a great lead in to the punch line, where sticking to a strict regime would crack the walnut as it where, blessings Roy

Well, there is certainly much to swear about these days, and while I don't personally know any sailors I think my own colourful language would help me fit right in.
Regarding the other 2 instructions, I think I have them back to front - I cherish my mind; my body has developed all by itself into something that might sink the sailor's dinghy.

If you are obliged to do all that all the time you would certainly need to swear a lot. In its succint form, it is a piece that makes a dlear statement. The illyustration is great, too.

There is a lot of positivity and strength with your words as you suggest we look after our bodies and mind and swear like a sailor! You made me smile, love Dolly x

The first two lines flow and connect well. The last line says it all! The author's words in the first two lines gave great advice, are descriptive,
and creative. The last line made me smile! The artwork is awesome
and compliments this poem.
