Notes About The Poem

- Let Kind Ink Flow -

Grab the new day with kindness in your heart

                        Random friendly words - the river will flow

                           You never get far with pointed elbows

                              Being generous and kind is an art

An art that is sometimes cast aside. Something to put into each and everyday. Lovely Anne-Lise.

It is certainly an art my friend, some choose not to exercise kindness, and are sullen and miserable - they lose so much from life! Love your write a fav. Good luck Anne-Lise. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

It is true, an open hand will get you farther than 'pointed elbows' - what an imaginative metaphor! Good luck in the contest!
