In my opinion, another amazing write by this gifted writer, which is also distinct in its succinct and relevant message - a winning combination. Fully compliant with the prompt in its delivery, requiring no image enhancement - best of luck in the contest...

Well said, kahpot. Good job on your 5 line contest entry. Your syllable count is correct with a good clear message. You are right. It takes work to make changes. Best wishes. Jan

Comment from June Sargent
Wishful thinking never does accomplish much. In fact, it can hamper and cause stagnation. Action - right or wrong - is at least moving towards a direction. Growth is possible only when we are not afraid to take that first step. You did well with this format. And - it made sense!

That's very true. A wish is only the beginning. We must take action if we are ever to see our dreams come true. There are so many people who could do so much good if they believed in their dreams to see them through.

Comment from friartuck
Excellent five-liner! I haven't tried one of these yet myself, but it doesn't look easy at all. At least, not easy to make it into a coherent thought, like you have done. I should probably just follow your advice here - just do it! Thanks for posting and good luck!

Comment from kiwisteveh
Like me, you prefer a strong message over any real attempt to make this form poetic with rhyme or other devices.
One tiny grammar niggle... What do you consider to be the subject of 'produce' in the last line? In my view, it has to be 'action' rather than 'thoughts'. In that case, it should really be 'produces' which of course would throw your syllable count out. I'm almost willing to bet that I'm the only one to question this!
Good luck.
Steve

Comment from phill doran
Hello Anon
This is good. A clear idea, expressed as a single thought. Simple words, that are not disjointed.
In passing, the key line is the fourth where the piece turns and makes its case, but I had to read it a few times to catch your drift. I knew what you were trying to say, so that helped, but you may wish to reconsider that line? "It is acting on a thought" (as an example, but I mean no disrespect to your original.)
I wish you well in your contest and with your writing
cheers
