Notes About The Poem

Clever Poetry

A wise collection of quotes.


A woman that works hard to be like a man has no ambition.
A small group of people can alter history if they are true to their mission.

The huge tree today is just a seed that chose to stay underground.
You think you want to disappear, really you just want to be found.

Only the historians among us can alter the past.
Don’t decide to change yourself, decide to be yourself at last.

If you have no destination in mind, any road will get you there.
Inside every human there it’s a treasure to unlock with care.

We cannot change the wind but we can direct the sail.
Never tie a knot in a guinea pig’s tail.

Never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake, ever.
Saying complicated profound comments in a simple way is clever.

Thanks Dear friend. by commenting, you led me here. I needed to read one of these today, to remind myself.. Its this one.. Inside every human there it’s a treasure to unlock with care. I have been thinking bad thoughts about someone. I needed that wake up call. You brought about serendipity. Thank you dear Las.

Dear SV what wonderful quotes. I love quotes and inspirational ones especially. You have created such a great couplet poem with them and the picture is adorable. Alongside your amazing poems you always seem to find amazing pictures to pair with them. This is delightful - adorable little Guinea pig. Unintentional, but like you said , dear Sara and her ‘squirrel’ brought tears of joy to my eyes. Bless her! My twin had several over the years and I loved them squeaking and chatting together.

Its one thing to comment and say that a poet did well, but another far more lovely, to lift someone's spirits to a point of sheer happiness with such words and sentiment as you have used dear Christina. Mere thanks is hardly enough. I wish you the best of everything, because your kindness is appreciated more than you will ever know. from Wen
