Oh so true, if we do good deeds and smile, then not only do we make ourselves happier, but we make others happy too. It's a great deal. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Julie Helms
This is just such great advice, applicable to anyone, anywhere, in any time period. It's like a universal truth!
I saw someone commented on the meter. I think what might be the issue, is that your lines are technically matching (you've got matching internal and end rhyme, matching syllable and word count) but 'weed out' is most naturally read as a unit, but your arrangement forces a break there to match 'deed, with'. So someone not anticipating the meter scheme won't read in it a rhyming way. (I'm not sure that made sense. It's really a nuance).
Great poem and picture to start my day with!

Hmm! Your thoughtful comments make sense on the meter issue, and I see what you mean. Thanks so much for your kind and constructively critical review.

Couldn't resist reading this one--the artwork caught my eye since I love bees. The message is short, sweet, and very true. A simple act of kindness can grow and multiply like magic weeding out the negative. Very good effort. Best wishes!

That's great advice! Yes, and sometimes a reassuring smile alone will bless. But a good deed, too, could really reach someone and cast out the "bile." Great job with your essence poem! Best wishes in the contest!

You might try "Arrears "next. You are good at these little babies. I am bingeing on "Blacklist" again. I may post tomorrow. Weather is getting warmer around here. I am moving to Plano, Texas where my two younger sisters live, and my older sister lives 30 minutes away in Dallas. I will be able to play games again.Yippee!!!! Karen

Thank you for your review. Can you elaborate on what more you want in the meter? It's an essence poem.
Comment from jessizero
This was a great two line poem for the contest. You got the internal and ending rhymes, as required, and I like your picture paired with the word "weed." It works very well. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Absolutely true. I couldn't agree more. I know that very well. A good deed will certainly weed out the bile. I wish you all the best in the upcoming contest. Ulla
