Slowdown Your Pace Comments

An excellent write worth to ponder with now and then. Beautifully crafted and conveyed with great rhyme. Onto my Poem List.

A very inspiring poem for the Youth of Today who are considered as the Hope Of Tomorrow. The wisdom and insight imparted by this beautiful poem could be considered as MANTRA. Each and every stanza carries that wisdom that we can always put in our heart and serves as a guidance towards the path of life.

With all disease and deceit, it's still a beauteous world And never ever see it as a desert bald! So slow down your pace to look around And enjoy the marvels that surround! ....loved these lines. A beautiful poem is well executed. Thank you dear madam for sharing this here.

Such a wise write for the young..for, especially for youth, there are not enough hours in the day to fit everything exciting in and they tend to miss out on the most important things life has to offer. Or perhaps they don't see these things as important at the time which made me think of this lovely haiku. 'Youth is a flying horse Age slows to a walk on the sand Now I notice sea shells' Forgotten who wrote the above Haiku but life certainly has sped up beyond imagination with the age of cellphone and advances in technology. There are certainly many important beautiful things in this life that require a little stillness and contemplation.10+

But inside! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Everything is becoming so fast that at this age we are constrained to go in our pasts when every thing was slow, even love and hate, that society had its own charms, when the lovers took moths to say, , , I love you, and when the enemies took years to say....I hate you.

The principal made a special stop at Ms Jansen's classroom to introduce the poet coming that m.orning just before lunch. Stella was delighted the poet was coming because meant Ms Jansen had to cancel their quiz and she could spend the hour doing her math homework. Steve adjusted the earphones in the cowl of his hood so he could faintly hear the new 38 Zombies cd. Harold was fingering his cell phone wondering if he could sneak a call to his girl friend. Harriet was thinking about Harriet. Hartley was too stoned to think. Rufus was thinking, Hey, man, I don't have to think today. Cool. Clare took out her notebook called DIARY OF A TEENAGE SOUL, and started writing a poem on the first blank page. She titled it, WEDNESDAY ANGUISH. Ms Jansen sighed. The poet said, Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Future. We have important work to do.

This is a very fast paced world that we are living in. Everybody is always in a hurry, slow down and smell the roses. Things will still be there when you get back. Take sometime to be a friend, help an elderly person. Enjoy your youth for it won't last forever. Like an eagle it will take wings and soon fly away. Remember thy creator in the days of thy youth. I enjoyed this poem so much, somethings I can apply to my own life. Thanks.

Wow I love this poem This poem really guides the misguided generation of the youths to the proper way even to me as well.

An bold statement, beautifully penned and is an harsh reality. It should be ensured by us all that we should move in life at an speed till everything is under control, as the realisation dawns that things will be out of control we should slow down for life should not be taken seriously, we never will get out of it alive.

a poetess steer us to..... With all disease and deceit, it's still a beauteous world And never ever see it as a desert bald! So slow down your pace to look around And enjoy the marvels that surround! best wishes Valsa George

Beautiful one, i love the ryhme in each verse. Thumbs up!

Oscar Wilde said youth is wasted on the young - so very true methinks. So much misdirected energy, but that is the way of things as youth lacks the wisdom to go with it. Very good write Valsa.

noble and lovable advice from a great writer///

An inspirational poem for the youngsters. A guiding light

Good advice from a great heart! thank you for sharing!

The youngsters of today have to sit back and think on.. The elders have to be blamed for creating this vacuum in their minds. Once again you are advised and not reprimanded, once again you are shown the even track and not the odd mount and it is upto you youngster to listen to our our teacher of teachers Ms Valsa George.

A great message for all generations.Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece.

A message that resonates with every generation that reaches a certain enlightened age. past, present and into the future. If only the young would realise its message sooner.: -) Stevie x
