I'm going to have to fan you again. To think that I missed this while it still paid! This would be great for an English class. Love the definitions. My favorites:

Animosity: is the dark relentless thief of peace
That ravages the living soul of spiteful minds

GRATITUDE... Give it a hearty workout everyday of your life!!

Hugs,
Shari

I kept avoiding to read this simply from the title. I wasn't sure what I would find. But I decided to give it a whirl and am glad that I did. This was extremely well written. Great choice of words and detail.

Your final word "gratitude" I can totally agree with and with your assessment. Nicely done, John

This is awesome! When I saw the title I was intrigued because osity and tude sounded strange to me. My curiOSITY made me read it and now I'm filled with GratiTUDE. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful thoughts.
I agree with you so much on this:
GRATITUDE: is the winner of all things good, wise, healthy, honorable, and holy,
Great job on this!
Blessings,
Anabella

This poem is a wonder of composition, as well as holding a gem of wisdom within
it. Try as I might, my skills do not allow me to do anything like this. My "light goes on " and it's all stream of consciousness from then until completion. Your poem has so much in it, defining the human traits you have chosen so well.
Yes, Gratitude is the Prime Mover of Human response . If we stop to give thanks for the blessings we enjoy, how different the world would be . Well done cheers Cass

It's good to see in the first half of this essay the His Greyness trademark UNIQUE Descriptive metaphors that have no equal (I love it when the next sentence and the one after that keeps going with a description MOTIF-building upon the previous-and just when ya think there's no more metaphors on this planet, he adds more from GOD knows where) My one concern is merely my own neurosis (for I AM Intelligent and Aware enough to recognize I am reviewing a MASTER of this craft who is MORE Intelligent and Aware)-It is thus:"Hopeless, darkness-driven, blind, and cold consistency"....In my humble opinion, the root word "dark" was just very recently used before these words appeared-Also, "darknessdriven" and "blind" are unfortunately redundant. However, "darknessdriven" is SO picturesque (One can SEE a demon led carriage) I would probably go back to the first "dark" occurance: "dark relentless thief of peace" and omit the one word for the sentence there is already STRONG...........now, here is what the first sentence I mentioned would look like omitting the word "blind":"Hopeless, darkness-driven cold consistency" (I see that a couple of "bonuses" showed up by doing this! ("darkness-driven cold consistency" is an ALLITERATION MASTERPIECE that came from YOUR pen!)...........so, in conclusion, we once again have a Visionary who is simultaneously the FIRST and the LAST word

Hello His Grayness lol ... I agree with you, it is very important to be grateful for what we have. This poem style is not my favorite.

    Thanks for the stars Gypsy and I've never done anything quite this uncommon before but wanted to capture attention leading to the endorsement of GRATITTUDE, which is my committed poetic mission. I really appreciate your five stars. Thank You! Vance

This is complex and very well thought out. All these definitions and comparisons woven into a poem. I agree that Gratitude is very important to be a healthy, well rounded human being.

Servitude: is the mission of giving, caring, hoping, commitment and love to those
Who are needful, to those who may be lifted, and to those who deserved to be served
GRATITUDE: is the winner of all things good, wise, healthy, honorable, and holy, it is UTOPIA
It is the word that always wins in all things in life! Give it a hearty workout everyday of your life!!

Hi Vance, i so much enjoyed your doctrine, i read it and re read, it is so true, in each explanation i found out nothing but the truth.
Beautiful. I have been away for 8 months, due to some health problems, but i am trying to crawl back gradually. Hope u are feeling better morally. A friend from Montreal. Terry xoxo

Have you ever heard the term "An attitude of gratitude."

Attitude is the master of balance that guides the heart and mind
To choose what path the spirit shall follow and what faith shall prevail

I am an avid believer in Attitude being a choice.

Thanks for sharing these words of wisdom.
