Premium Member How Does One Compete
How does one compete with a Frost or a Keats, a Dickinson or Whitman for words, how can we say in our language today what we feel within has been stirred. Like those in our past who intrinsically grasped the secrets to living and more, their visions, dreams, and ideas it seems came through their own secret doors. I make no pretense...

Compete and Repeat To Beat Defeat
Never retreat, but ever try Though you may badly fail Let efforts reach the Sky, To give God a pleading mail, It is better to pray, never cry As prayer will always prevail, Attempt like the Sea-wave Tempt may fear to enslave With contempt, give it a grave The problem you must face And solve it with skill Find out remedial ways With an indomitable will God is...

Born To Compete
when you're raised to be an athlete you're born to compete, but not with any others, it's yourself you better beat, it's the you you are today versus the you you were last week, learn rewards from digging deep not from praise the others speak, facing up to all your flaws if you don't your flaws repeat,...

There are a few of those, who enter talent shows because they want to be, one of those pros Those who do compete, range from young to old and have the strength, to be bright and bold Some people start to think, I don’t like the look of you but looks are deceiving, to not bring out a boo Then out...

Sappho Fragment 2: How Can I Compete With That Damned Man
Sappho fragment #2 translation by Michael R. Burch How can I compete with that damned man who fancies himself one of the gods, impressing you with his "eloquence" ... when just the thought of sitting in your radiant presence, of hearing your lovely voice and lively laughter, sets my heart hammering at my breast?

I used to think otherwise but there are so many interactive systems it is impossible to cut out pieces...

Javelin
From prehistoric stone there was sharpened a point then a spike: chiselled and engraved and hoisted and thrust, raised high above men toward a target lofty, afar in a field. Competitors rose from primordial waters, harpooning dreams and dripping ambition, tired and bruised but practiced and hopeful. Javelin was once rock was once bone was once wood is now painted is...
