Every known problem has it's own solution
Never stop seeking an honest resolution
Down every dark street there is a burning light
Everyone's queries show there in plain sight
Answers will come from out of yonder blue
Very often overlooked by both me and you
Only the foolish say that they know it all
Under the bridge of knowledge they will fall
Remember that honesty is the best policy of all.
Author notes
To me, Endeavour means to try, to attempt, to have a go.

Thank you for commenting. This was a hard one to write but Lis challenged me to do it and I accepted the challenge. I apreciate your thoughts very much.

Wow, I'm impressed. I think it is quite a difficult thing to attempt something like this & not only get it to rhyme well, but to flow well & for it to stay focused. Excellent.

Lis, my better half, challenged me to write in this form. It was very hard to do and is not a form I would use often. Many thanks for your complimentary comments. They give me heart to keep going.

Spot on with your definition... Very profound piece mate, and yes, we all need to trust our intuition more.
Cheers mate

many thanks for such an encouraging comment. It is actually the result of a challenge from Lis. To make it a rhyming acrostic.

Excellent rhyming acrostic with great wisdom. "Only the foolish say that they know it all." So true and so sad that our society is run by those who call themselves "experts" but fail to have true wisdom.
Thanks so much for your entry and all my wishes for a blessed season of family, friends, and abundant life!

Superb. You hit the nail right on the head with this, Bob. Yep...the answer is always there if you look hard enough. We have a fool at work that thinks he knows it all, no matter what. Most avoid him. This is the consequence of of fools. A wonderful piece of work. A quite different approach here. Two verse throughout rhyme together, except for the last three that all rhyme. It worked well. I'll have to try this style. No suggestions to improve. It is great. Good luck in the contest.

Many thanks for you complimentary comments. Lis set me a challenge and this was the result. It just happened to fit the criteria for the contest.

Well! You met my challenge beautifully
I thought it would take days
It is rare to find a rhyming acrostic, well written and rhymed. I feel you have encapsulated the true meaning of 'Endeavour'.
It is interesting to note that this was also the name of the ship Captain Cook sailed in, when he discovered Australia, our home
Much love,
Lis.

Thank you for such a complimentary comment, my love. You challenge made me think very carefully during the writing. I appreciate your ability to give me inspiration when my muse was having a holiday.

My better half challenged me to write this one. Glad you liked it. My first attempt at rhyming an acrostic. I appreciate your input, many thanks.
