You don't need to take anyone's advice, just be yourself, do your own thing, stay well and happy.

Ummm... do I talk too much????!!!!

... Am feelin a LITTLE uncomfy, sandwiched between your POETRY and the comment below...

I don't wonder that you don't take advice... me neither!! :))

Nice poem... but don't take my word for it... Love you!! K xx

I follow Jimmini Cricket's advise, singing:
'When you gerrin trouble
and you don't know write from wrong
give a little whistle - whooooooooo
give a little whistle - whoooooooooo
When you meet temptation
and the urge is very strong
give a little whistle - whooooooooo
give a little whistle - whoooooooooo
and always let your conscience be your guide.

Heh c'mon Dai, get a grip, taking a lead from a wee grasshopper? Where's the wisdom in that?
Just.

So wise a write - I also get plenty of "free advice." I know the feeling all-too-well. I don't ask for advice (normally), and I definitely don't "give" advice (LOL) - although once-in-awhile, I may state some opinions. At the same time, I take the view that you shared on your bio page: "Forgive those who have offended you." Peace and good health to you. -- Jeff

A bit humorous, but the truth is undeniable...
Great comparison. :~)

I find that advice from friends or relatives is especially hard to take when unsolicited. Unlike a stranger, they have the ability to follow up - discover if you took their advice. That can lead to hurt feelings on both ends. I love the imagery in this poem. You've used nature to express your frustration in a refreshing way. Great poem!

yeah ron :) thanks

Will ask your opinion before I "Advise and Consent." My goofy side just had to throw a book title here.

My advice would be that you use [advice] rather than [advise] here. My spelling is atrocious, so I know wherein I speak. Does embarrassed experience lead to wisdom?

Damned if we do, damned if we don't Anita!! Thought provoking pen.

You are not a lazy thinker. You are simply not too quick to form an opinion. There is a difference.
God bless,

Anita,

I dare not give you advice. (lol) True, there is so much out there that is unsolicited but the advice cost nothing and there is so little out there that's free these days and you know as well as I do that your gonna receive it whether wanted or not. A little advice, " Please Enjoy All the Peace, Love and Blessing That Life Has to Offer." Always, Paul.

In my child-mind, I always picture us as bottom-dwellers, beneath the sea of sky--second-level-dwellers. Then, there must be the planet earth, as a round fish, eating yellow light-rays -- sucking them in, and secreting (who knows what)into the ocean of space... and the celestial bodies then, must be a school of land-bass-- bottom-feeders of an even vaster body of the cosmic sea.

But when telling all of this to my wise mother-- she smiled knowingly and said, "maybe, child. may be..." I think the only unsolicited advice she ever gave me was-- Go to bed! What a too-too deep well she was.

(you make me miss my mommy...)... maybe she's swimming out there-- celestial dust glowing in her hair... (maybe, child. may be...)

Was there a hint there...? Let me give you some adviCe...Vote for Rufuz for President...no charge, good to see you stopping in...;) ed & Rufuz

i appreciate your explanation of advice and wisdom--as well as the well expressed poem-

You're not all wet - message received in thought provoking lines - well done -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
