Patience & Practice

Comment from Sarah Tummey
I love this - a succinct poem telling two truths. Just as we have to grow in patience, our skill level also grows when we practise. Well done for fitting this into so few words - a well-deserved contest win.

Congratulations on your well-deserved win. What you say about practice and patience is so true, no matter what we are trying to master, even if we are working on being more patient.

Comment from Cherish Adams
Absolutely, well said. Six word poetry should bring something home, make a mark - in my opinion. You did just that. Thank you for sharing. Well done.

Comment from Ben Colder
It reminds me of when my oldest daughter took piano lessons. The teacher's words were the same. "Practice with patients" works or did in her case. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Comment from royowen
Learning a musical instrument takes hours and hours of repetition to master the art of playing an instrument, I learnt in my forties, to be a support for my daughters, one gave up, the other obtained her degree, now is a professional, I wrote many songs, I've taught others. Beautifully written, I know, blessings Roy

Dear Roy, I know too, it took me months of practice playing the piano to win an award when I was a child - a statuette of Bach. I still practice patience in my writing now too! I'm glad one of your daughters is a professional. Dove
