Listen to poem:
Written: November 11, 2023 ___________________________________________ Oh, what strength and valor the heart may be! As a way of enduring life's various struggles, Minor flaws are where it typically falls poorly. Which develops drastically, days troubles We brace for battle by bearing sturdy gear. To meet physically with something awful. Defiantly ignoring the potential to feed fear And convey your fierce drive to win, lawful. An anonymous, as feathery as a fluffy cloud, A thoughtless phrase, a glance, a demeanor Destroys our smug sense of awe; to be proud Both stamina and vigor vanished in a steamer. Despite whether it is stubble-covered or spare, Losing may as well teach us how life will dare.

An insightful poem of life struggles and the need to fight off the temptations of fear and be strong to overcome and grow as a person. Excellent poetry, my friend. Another FAV for this courageous poem. We are all stronger than we think we are, and we get help whether we know where it comes from or not. Have a great week! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Dear sotto, this poem flows with such wisdom and profound feelings, about how struggles in life can sometimes pull us down but also depict fierce drive and teach us so much through loss. A very meaningful poem woven with such brilliant alliterations and wordplay, you’ve phrased your thoughts in sheer eloquence. And I especially love the way this rhymes. An impeccable sonnet really. I especially love “ An anonymous, as feathery as a fluffy cloud,A thoughtless phrase, a glance, a demeanor“ love it
