Such a unique poem. Kindness always brightens up someone's life. Especially during the holidays. Many of the homeless need roofs over their heads and food.

A nice thing to think. I try for niceness, but sometimes it morphs into sarcasm. I hope you do well in the contest. I liked the picture, not sure what it is or what it means, but I like it. Karen

Karen, sarcasm makes the wit grow stronger. Lol

The picture was chosen before I changed the last line which once read "rivers flow.". I didn't feel the need to modify the picture. Lol

I have used pictures that had nothing to do with the story, just cause I liked it. Karen

Very true, and when people are upset with the world of today they must realise that they themselves can be instruments of change within their own circle of influence. Well said. Best wishes for your entry.

Excellent entry for the 3-5-3 writing prompt contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

I appreciate your writing talent. Well done!

Oh yes, mnindness is part of love, as compassion is a great help the active hand of help, love covers a multitude of sins, never judges, always forgives, and is the outworking of thoughtful goodness, well done good luck, blessings Roy

Goodness isn't a flower, it only blooms through our power! Thank you for this positive and charming post of a 3-5-3 poem. God has made us with free will and with that free will, we can either better and enrich the lives of others or cause dissent in this world.

I loved the positive message in your poem. It does seem the world is full of atrocities and evil, but goodness is always there, it just sadly doesn't get as much coverage as the evil going on. A well written piece. I enjoyed reading it.

I really like the sentiment here. Random acts of kindness - and targeted ones, too, for that matter - are essential to maintaining harmony and balance as a community. Thanks for sharing this.
