Best Intransigence Poems


Miss Defiance

I can watch the neighbors from my front porch 
My favorite is a child of barely three
With curls gracing her head in a shining glow of red 
Today I see her bang through her door, hands on her hips

Defiance in her face that you simply can’t ignore
Her mama comes to beg her to return
In her...

Intransigence

A lightning-fast swing, 
a blinding slap 
and a few seconds later – a dull thunder of the leaving thunderstorm.
A numbness of words;
a dumbness of feelings;
a cold wind from the river; 
a sad and grievous moan of the coal barges, huddling together.
We’ll never huddle together for warmth anymore;
we'll never talk to each other as good neighbors...

Intransigence - the Unbroken

Intransigence - The UnBroken

The Sun would never
bow down to the Earth.
Nor would the Earth
bow down to the Moon.
Then why do you think
that you can break
my will and I will bend
my knees to you... Little Flea?

You blame me for the
loss of your manhood…
What manhood?
You were never a real man...
just a puerile, heartless drone
who couldn't love anyone.

You've...

Intransigence

INTRANSIGENCECapricious in opinion
Parental – High handedness
Work put in
By sentinel minions
Juggernaut enthused 
Serial circumstance
Discorded use. 	Abstinence!
Crushed!				UNDONE!
Inconsonance
I am slighted.  Rebuffed!
Disinherited
Urgency brings revolution
Insurgence
Of divine retribution.

End....

Stupid Fool

Stupid fool look at yourself what has your knowledge gained!
No forward motion or healthy growth,
Just some poor intellect pouring out of a grumpy man.
What perseverance do you follow upon your stagnated road?
Or do you push from opposite sides until your viewpoints lost!
Your grimness stirs my sanity and boils my blood in clumps,
I cannot take one...

Intransigence- A bold unwillingness to compromise.

Professor: 
The intelligent doubt everything- critical thinking is the hallmark of intelligence!
For example- God doesn't exist!

Student: But how do we know that, what is the proof?

Professor:
Well there is no definitive proof, but we have our theories!
It's difficult to understand God as explained in the Bible, it's like a fairy tale,
intelligent...

Premium Member Grim Side of Intransigence

As  taut breezes whip on a chilled evening,
I find her standing upright---relentless    firm
murmuring vexedly which drain all exchanges 
beyond amity.  My warm glances try to uncover
how the pain of disorder all began : 
Yet how unbending, even obstinate her will,
all those grates of words so stern that I and kin
endure...

Premium Member A Major Intransigence

A major intransigence these days:
when does life begin- conception,
fertilization, a beating heart- with
first breath- taken outside the womb?
How could thinking be so varied
on this disputed topic regarding life-
financial, religious, or political gains,
or even self-centered appeasement?
A major intransigence these days
about this gift- the miracle of life.

As like every other loving child growing up 
In my early years, I have always looked up to my father 
I was over-whelmed by his creativeness...
How he improvised and jury-rigged his make-shift concoctions 
My mother would constantly call him "Mr. MacGyver" 
As the years passed by and the times were changing 
He was still stuck...

Premium Member Confession of My Intransigence

Unwavering by God’s might
tenaciously upholding my faith divinely granted
through Christ’s imputed righteousness…
here’s my soul, grace propped
earnestly striving to live for Him
exalting His name … my holy intransigence.

Unfaltering along the Saviour’s steadfast assurance
immutably sealing my redemption security
against unbelief and skepticism’s attacks…
here’s my spirit, kept by His Word, perfectly reliable
ceaselessly enabled to learn from Him
to be able...

Hello world
I'm not a follower
Unless you're trying to serve the Lord
I refuse to compromise 
It's not my way,  it's not your Way
To abandon an often extreme position of our attitudes 
Uncompromising intransigent the oppositions
An intransigent attitude not an absence 
Qualify the refusing to change our opinions or behaviour
World I'm adamant,
Devil, I'm adamant that you're...

Premium Member A Friend- So Intransigence

I once had a friend iron-willed and rigid
she was uncompromising and stern
          everything carved in stone
she was single-minded mulish
          unyielding-  unwavering in all things

I am an easy-going girl . . . 
my hair a flowing river...

Wikipedia describes intransigence as
"refusal to change one's views."
A trait that people of faith 
are known to demonstrate; if put to the test.
Don't get me wrong,
obstinance is not a bad thing,
merely a form of thinking that is resolute,
a stone pillar that will not bend.
If one honestly believes God exists,
there is no compromise;
their faith is absolute.
Their belief...

Intransigence

Certainly a compromise
Would undermine my certainty
That my opinions
On every matter 
Are wrong

I am so sure 
That I am wrong about this 
That there is no use 
Talking about it

I am so right
About being wrong
About being right
I think my head 
Is going to implode

Intransigence

I was listening to a therapy talk
Often it helps to calm you down, you know
And this went on defining love as a prejudice
Something similar to a preferred choice, may be.

And, at a point, it suggested to close eyes, for
thinking about the face of the supposed beloved
For reminding that happiness is more important than love
A conscious...
