Ten Values

A poem I had to write for English that I think turned out nicely :)

Be loyal and faithful in all you do

Add on with learning to all that you knew

Have love and charity for all you meet

Be humble, yet know that you are elite

Keep your word, your integrity, I beg

Work hard, it refines and removes the dregs

Be modest in your dealings and your dress

Have self-control, avoid the future mess

Be virtuous, and in all means, be pure

Keep your head up, persevere and endure.

Please tell me what you think :) Also please rate ;)

A very brief and moving Polonius-esque speech (and Polonius himself even says "brevity is the soul of wit". Well done!

I really liked the word "dregs". It brings so much more character into the poem!

I swear I've heard these somewhere! ;)

[LunarSong]

If you have then they're very quick at plagiarizing ;)

[Calibaster]

True. Too quick!

[LunarSong]

Way too quick, but you never know...

[Calibaster]

True. Very true. :)

[LunarSong]

Hm... sadly.

[Calibaster]

It is kinda sad. ;)
