Best Stubborn Poems

He’s 85 and he says he isn’t going to die.
Stooped over very badly, maybe two feet shorter now
than he used to be in his prime
and walking very slowly with his cane,
he insists on opening his own doors,
saying this while breathing heavily.
He refuses elderly care and...

I fell for a girl, with a heart so bold,
Stubborn and strong-willed, with a spirit to mold.
She'd argue and debate, with a passion so bright,
And though she'd drive me crazy, I'd love her with all my might.

Her eyes would flash fire, when she'd disagree,
And her...

The day my life went so crazy
Was when I laid eyes on Daisy
She was an old sow
Who mooed like a cow
And drove all farmhands crazy

We tried to put her in a field
But sadly that pig wouldn’t yield
She’d sit down in her sty
And she wouldn’t comply
Her...

It was a shame to make them wait so long.
They had been at it for ages;
The crop-dusting, the vaccuum cleaners,
                         ...

The laceleaf maple's crimson organs fall
and scatter on the ground like shattered glass,
as naked shadowed fingers shade the pall
and Autumn days prepare to shout their last.
Now in the forest cling the stubborn few
whose tendrils rage against the Winter wind
- die proudly at the helm of...

I'm working on a poem
And it's giving me fits
I guess I'll have to work it out
Or just call it quits.

But if I call it quits
I fear what you might miss
So I'll just bow my neck
And pray it will make sense....

A stubborn fly defied all the warnings
She followed the corpse all the mornings
On burial day she followed it down into the grave
While she thought herself nothing but brave
But ended up dead without earnings...

Mule kicked and bucked so high, its
hind legs seemed to reach the sky...
Suffering from many a thing, but vowed 
to suffer war no more,
Soldiers differing with the stubborn 
beast, learned to sit in peace......

Nature Is Stubborn


See where its siblings are abundantly born
You will concede Nature is wisely stubborn;

On a parched desert that gives no reward
Cactus’s juicy, naked legs shoot upward.

Temperamental grass, like tresses or locks
Eke out a living breaking into hard rocks.	

Corals quarrelling with coldness of brine,
Sprout under...

Stubborn people just stumble on,
Without much hope of where they're going:
Useful advice is turned aside;
There's no one there to lead or guide!

They bemoan their lot, yet spurn what's good,
Sometimes to others they're downright rude!
Stop, listen, then fresh action take
To avert a critical disastrous mistake.

The King...

A frustrated poet had a paralyzed pen.
She wailed, “When you will move,when!”
The pen with sad eyes,looked up in dismay
“Mistress,my brain cartridge is empty this day.”

She knew there were phone calls to be made.
Plus,had to hang up a lovely,new blue shade.
Clothes to be washed,her hungry cat...

Upon my intransigence, I seek solitudes,
sovereign of their state…
Pertaining to my pensive pertinacity,
rigidity reigns supreme…
Idol inflexibilities sustain my endurance,
thus my punitive perseverance ponders still…
For love be the catalyst that displaces my fortitude,
my firmness, my patience, my stamina staggers…
My valorous veins victimized with a wounded will,
I...

One day …
I offered you a compromise,
But you went riding by,
Upon your high, high horse,
With your nose up in the sky.

One day …
I offered you a get-out clause,
But you went riding by,
Upon your high, high horse,
With your nose up in the sky.

One day …
You will...
