Amen. The words in the poem is something we all need to live by. A little kindness goes a long way I always say.
I like the line about it being contagion. I thought that was a strong line. I was also intrigue with the words you use in the poem.

Oh, I really like this. I'd never seen a nictameter before, so I appreciate the fine lesson in this form of poetry.
I love your definition of kindness:
"Exercising humanity
As it spreads good will with humility" Beautiful!
This is, indeed, excellent.

Nine lines to define an act that so many are ignorant to. I liked the line "can be a contagion". Don't think I've come across a rictameter poem yet. Where would I find these forms and all their rules? Never realized there were so many different types out there. Jenn

Nice metaphor, Sue, to align the Golden Rule of dimension by which most of nature is made to look harmonious, with human kindness. When I read the title, I thought I might be in for a maths treatise, but you confounded me again.
Best regards

Your poem is beautifully written and thank God for your authors notes because I am learning about the different types of poetry. I only recently have been interested in poetry since I joined FanStory. I have written a few poems and gotten great reviews. Maybe, I can write poetry but I am not educated in the different ways poetry can be written. Your author notes educate me. Thank you. Mary Jayne

Hullo Sixteezkid ...
In full compliance with the requirements for the Rictametre format - a syllable count of 2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2,
you have presented with a Golden Rule which sends out a very good message.
Thank you for sharing this with us. There is nothing that I would suggest changing.
With love from .. Nanette Mary.

This is really true and I love how your poem said it here.
Sometimes it is better to be kind than be right.
Much love,
Justmade.

It is a simple pleasure to read your poetry. I believe it is the second one I've read today. This looks like a very restrictive form, but you pulled it off amazingly well.
Love, Chris

Chris, yes, the rictameter is highly structured and I love to write them. They are a great exercise in being highly selective for word choices, and has helped me on this throughout all my various poems. Thank you very much for your great review and compliments. With regards, Sue
