About This Poem

STAMINA

           STAMINA.

No where near a force of nature.
Challenging the things that are not for sure.

Building what we can  survive.
A small measurement when we strive.

Lessons when it comes to strength.
Multiplying the time found in length.

Stop and learn the sound of weakness.
Hard to find when one is restless.

Improving in a mental task.
The answers are found when we ask.

Stamina is needed between me and you.
To perform bravely in all we do.

Losing the ability to rump for long.
Your out of shape comes in way to wrong.

The idea is to learn when ideas seem to fail.
The wrong action is to bail.

Thinking thinking what could it be.
Will not solve the problem between you and me.

Practice is  the best energy.
Memorize it and stamina will come naturally.

 
.            S.K.A.T. POETRY.

    Gritty and randy. I like this as it tends towards the Chicago blues school of lyrics. Yet it is not raunchy. Okay! REgards, Gerard

    Hey a few beers will slow that engine down, or anti depressants work wonders delaying 'old faithful, or a couple of hydrcodone is best if you have a prescription laying around! Usually works for me:) Any man that wouldn't appreciate this poem from his mate is probably dead anyway or in need of a doctor!

    I've never said it and I hope to never have to say it again. But for the sake of the unfortunate who will have to endure the stares of many strangers I will say this on his behalf. TMI!!! jhl

    I love it! That's the way to work with the muse. Give it some stamina and let it do its thing naturally. I like the rhyming couplets and the essence of the message in the poem. Great job! Joseph

    oh, gosh, Irma, I am taking this just to mean that having endurance is the most important trait. Is there something more profound I was supposed to see? I am not really all that smart getting deeper meanings from people's poems. P.D can tell you that. haha! Did I guess right about stanza 5: 2 me it means not 2 be afraid to ask for directions and stuff like that! (in other words, be more like a woman and use your HEAD) Am I getting it? Thanx for ur remarks on my poetry, Always, Irma! Luv Andrea
