·                            WISDOM

·                             

·                            Acquiring Wisdom is not a cake walk

·                            A life rustic gets it earlier

·                            Never allow fascinations to taint

·                            Your thankfulness for the life’s gifts

·                            How wiry may life’s scenes appear

·                            Never try to justify or criticize

·                            The only dialect that wisdom accepts

·                            Is that of  a constitution built by love

·                            Never use flattery to yourself to hide defects

·                            Wisdom seems so small as starlight

·                            But sunlight never shines it

·                            It shines on its own  

·                            It pours its shine irrespective of dawn and dusk

Wisdom is indeed its own light. It's a virtue that lamps our often perilous paths.

I never usually enjoy these exercises...or the poems that result from them...they often seem contrived and the words you are given to use pop up in the body of the poetry like teenagers coming into the room and interrupting an ongoing conversation...I'm amazed that you were able to write a respectable poem with these constraints...you italicize the words, but most of those words would have stood out without the italics...they seem uncomfortable in the flow your poem might have had without them...but your thoughts are moving and your motives are pure

I've never thought of wisdom this way, but I love the way you explain it by saying that "sunlight never shines on it" because "it shines on its on" that's the perfect way of explaining it. Great write as always.

Much wisdom. Your phrases are very well written in a non standard way. This makes it more interesting.
