An Acrostic Poem for Weekly Scribblings #22

D  I  S  C  I  P  L  I  N  E

Discipline, an unwelcome thought
It's a nine letter word
Scary when you're involved
Control is what we're thinking
It most always means a change
Preventive action keeps unwanteded behaviors in
Line
In person, this might entail exercise, eating, habits or other
Never say I can't do or not do
Every effort has been done before, self control

  2. It is scary when you yourself are disciplned, but as a parent it hurts to have to discipline a child.

    1. Yes. LOL, but I've made it a point to demonstrate to my kids when I have to do it to myself (see guys... I'd love to watch TV with you, but here's what my work in-box looks like).

  3. Acrostics are interesting, Jim, not only clever but also revealing a lot about the person who wrote them. I suspect that, like Robin, you were on the other end of discipline at school!

  5. Yes, a clever way of expressing discipline. With my ADD I have to write sticky notes and wallpaper the walls of my library to guide me toward accomplishing anything.
