As A Man Thinketh, So He Is.
Mind is the master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills-
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.
Inspired by James Allen motivational book ‘as a man thinketh’.

Hope I didn't bore you with my post.Go to lactoo's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
You are improving @louis. I like the rhythm and the rhymes. And what the poem tells too.
The first line shouldn’t have been capitalized like that since it is not a title but part of the poem. And I also think the lines don’t fuse properly into one coherent grammatical whole. The way to find this out is to rewrite the lines as prose and see if they still read correctly.
Nice one.
@chemokopi. Thanks a lot. I’ll work towards that.
