Hey Lori,
I love the idea of presenting resolutions as poems. This one is well done. I hope to see some more resolutions blossom into Cinquains... What I like about this one is L3/L4 focus on the foundation of MM and for the reader that would be reading this without background would clearly see the building up of wordsmithing and resolutions toward honing the poets skills and knowledge. I thought, perhaps L1, could be better served without a repeat of the title. The title here is perfect and most fitting to stand well on its own. Revealing for the reader the idea of resolutions. A quick thought could be... Resolution one Invest my timely worth, sharing the love of words sculpting, refining as we learn to write. Just a thought. Of course I think you can do find much more valuable word choices. Big hugs... I love it! QUOTE Resolution One

This looks like fun. Probably much harder than it looks. Here is my first one!
Insects Fastidious Cleaning mankind’s garbage Earth cannot exist without them Eating ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
