Lao Tzu
Reversing feeling a failure
requires that one considers
reacting not to insults
resort to embracing praise
restore your ability to
reason in a positive light
reflect on matters of the heart
restimulate your love glow
rehab your social network
reclaim valuable relations
restart your personality
refrain from inane remarks
reframe your core intentions
reset your ultimate goals
reinvigorate your pride
regain your self confidence
resurrect your self image
relax under life’s pressures
reject thinking you’re a fool
rejoice in the brand new you

Thank you Rog… 🙂
Really fine
read.
Thank you Ron, but I am not at all satisfied with my effort, or lack thereof, on this prompt. It never felt comfortable for me. Disappointed in myself… 😐
I like the reverb of your head rhymes, Rob, and the final message is a powerful one.
I was proud to create this Kim, in that it satisfied the prompt — but I never fully resonated with it my friend.
A tour de force!
Thank you Jane… 😉 …but I think I fell short on this one.
An excellent message, Rob! I like all those R sounds.
Sounds like a motor revving… 😉
Love the last line – a resounding message.
Just an old man preaching Grace, but thank you… 🙂
Great advice set in poetry
Thank you Bjorn, advice easily ignored unfortunately… 😐
