Best Sheer Force Of Will Poems

...He reformed the routing patriots,
formed a line atop a rise, Perrine’s Hill,
brought in General Knox and the artillery,
commanding the mass through sheer force of will.

He needed to buy time for the main force
to march on and join up in the battle,
the British kept coming, soon...

Sometimes I wonder about nature’s mysteries… 
how there is so much I can’t explain?
Like why the sand dunes can be heard to sing
or how flowers anticipate the rain.

Like how the sun rises to greet the day
and how at night it bids adieu.
Like how there is...

THE AQUATIC GRAVEYARD

Beneath the deadly rough waves cryptic path of destruction,
There is an ethereal place of eerie silence, in the stilled frozen
Chilling depth, it is the final resting place for wreckage's carnage,
The aquatic graveyard of ships!
Left ringing is the bell of the silent mercy, in...

Well, they said it's illegal, immoral and sick
But I couldn't resist attempting the trick
So I found me a monkey, a snake and a duck
And I hoped it would work, with a wee bit of luck.

I decided the music of Franz Ferdinand
Was exactly the way I...

The spirit of the woman I love
has changed me, this I do know
The sheer force of her femininity
has made me a better man, absolutely so
She engages me with godly dialog,
it helps elevate my consciousness
She's the woman I've always desired,
who truly makes me feel blessed

She's my...

Just a normal looking laid back guy

No caution heard no Hazard signs
i'm just passing by
Our eyes meet
In that instant my heart skips a beat

The world around escapes, leaving us this framed exchange
Two people drawn in close, yet estranged
The magnitude behind that stare
Time has marked a...

I looked it up on Google,
Read the turgid prose,
Did the questionnaire
Was very quickly diagnosed.
So many things now
Suddenly fell into place
After a lifetime's experience
Of constantly losing face.
No longer the clumsy oaf,
No longer the thickie spastic,
No longer the bumbling fool,
I'm just mildly dyspraxic.
After more than fifty ...

Steel magnolias
By Michelle Morris
21/03/2023

I am a steel magnolia
Don't underestimate my strength
I have more backbone than ten men
And no time for false pretences 

I've lived through unimaginable things
I've survived and thrived despite it all
I refuse to put limitations on myself
I will succeed by sheer force of...

Lofty Living

Let me take a moment of silence to listen to the noise that life decided to make_
Hear all the burps, the crashes, the hums of sounds it chose to stir me before I wake.
Inhaling a hefty dose of fresh air to withhold before the...

Why and to what end,
Trying to understand life
By using sheer force
You can't hasten the meanings,
They'll come to you in good time...

On the first day if Christmas not much of a yield
A false sense of peace over a normally killing field
On the second day of Christmas each peace patrol
Went back and forth from billets in its appointed role

On the third day of Christmas suicide bombers struck
Killing...

Strands of space lost in static surrounded me as I swirled.

Strawberry smirk scoured into my soul,

Heartstrings strumming on the words that pull.

It's true- you're darling and so dear.

But dearest fills the heart that spills with such fear.

My life- my doubt drawing so near to the...

The two hands together,
They enclose each other
In a solemn embrace,
And then softly part
To go their separate ways,
At fifteen past three
Held for a while at lunch
Then withdrawn,

Go round with time
And meet me at instances
Which allow us to be one,
Perhaps at six thirty
We can watch the setting...
