    Thanks, Cindy, for your supportive review. Paying it forward is another way of looking at this concept. Each way has benefits of their own.
    Thanks for the blessings.

That's a great way of looking at life. You are correct, if we can learn from each other, with it will come understanding. Very well written a d formstted.

The opening line with just one words bring us straight into the message of collaboration. You develop this clearly in the following lines about the importance of developing leadership. I particularly like 'By working together/we can reach past the sun' followed by the motto in the last line. If it was my poem I would look at the second verse again. I would look at the word 'sorrow' and ask Could i use another word here. Lastly, is your rhyming scheme following a particular pattern?

The author's words are meaningful, have a message and are creative.
I found this poem though provoking and pondered on the theme and
words of this poem. The first word of this poem says it all! The
artwork is awesome! Great Poem! Have a great day, Jesse!

Dolphins are dangerous! If they continue to self educate, they could take us over. Imagine a dolphin deity versus a nuclear submarine. Which one would win?

I would perhaps consider a little less space between your lines. Sometimes double spacing happens when working in the advanced editor, which is why I never use it.

Finally, I think the ending is a bit sloppy. Can you at least put it in quotes?

Begin with the expression:
"Each one teach one".

Clean this up and message me back, and I will bump it up a star.

Thanks for the read,

This is a beautiful poem, Mr. Doty! It's simple and straightforward but still touching and inspiring. I often say we are better together as a community than on our own.

    Thanks for the six stars and awesome review. You sound familiar, yet I don't recognize your pen name. Are you someone I know from another world? The phrase "community" can refer to several idioms.
    Thanks for being inspired by my simple poem.

The Dear Old Marist Brothers, I blame them for most of my failings. Truth is, they were men dedicated to teaching often lazy teenagers going through that life stage called puberty. Most of them did a good job, some were tough and a few near impossible. But their task was much tougher than ours. As students, our interest in studying generally varied between 0 and 15% and our attitudes were well short of that mark.
I'm sure they practised this philosophy, but they utilised a cane as their enforcer. That worked. Somehow, we finally survived and graduated. A great write.

    Thanks for the six stars and interesting review. Using the cane as an enforcer isn't necessary when the teacher does what he/she should.
    I feel for you and your fellow students who weren't interested in learning for the sake of learning.
    Thanks for sharing. Your kind and thoughtful review is appreciated.

Hi Jesse,
This poem has no specific rhyme scheme but flows well. I agree that if people work together more can get done for the better. Procrastination is never good.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend.
Joan
