    Advice

    The first two lines sort of popped into my head, so I turned this into a poem about 5 minutes ago and thought I would share. I don't mind sharing since this is practically anonymous:

    Never mind the fickle willow,
    Who blows with any breeze.
    But remember the sturdy oak,
    Which only flutters leaves.

    And remember not the tall lily,
    Which wilts on a hot summer day.
    Think of instead a stout orchid,
    One which will never fade away.

    Do not think of the ocean,
    A fiend which never stays the same.
    Security is found in pools,
    When controlled they are quite tame.

    If only I had known this before,
    My garden would have lasted forevermore.

    Exclamation

    Nice sonnet. And boy do I write sonnets! This one a sweet, simple message!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
