Make Bold Poems - Poems about Make Bold

Broken but bold enough to bounce back

There was a time I didn’t know my worth.
I didn’t know my purpose.,
I’d felt that way since birth.

I would talk to other girls at school,
but when they formed their cliques,
they did not find me “cool.”

Not cool enough to be part of their group.
I was just their sidekick who
got left out of the loop.

Broken, I was

Aurora in the Ossuary - Broken but bold enough to bounce back

Written: August 14, 2025, for Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon
           *******

I writhed in the womb of a necrotic hush,
a stygian silence where barghests lurk—
My slack-jawed soul, sodden with oblivion lull,
clanged against the obelisk of despair.

The wound, a molten mouth of aurora,
sizzled with sacred suction—
a fipple

Broken but Bold

I was destroyed by life's rough edges, ruthless stones,
Shattered pieces lost in silent tones.
But from the cracks, a fierce new flame was born—
A strength that rose through every ache and scorn.

Each fragment became a ground edge,
the story of struggles fought and led.
Steady, resilient and standing tall.
I rise untouched-- stronger after all.

The marks I wear are

FRAGILE VESSEL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poem written for and submitted to “Broken But Bold Enough to Bounce Back” Poetry Contest, Anoucheka Gangabissoon, sponsor, August 11, 2025.

They gathered like shadows,
the character assassins~
their whispers their weapons, 
their glances a silent judgment,
truth twisted to fit their narrative,
a caricature of my spirit
painted in the hues of malice.  

I, a fragile vessel,
trembled beneath

Broken but bold enough to bounce back

There I stood at heavens pearly gates 
Waiting for God to decide my fate
I was still a child, though very sick
Hoping my passing would be quick.

Then an angel suddenly appeared
Took my hand and said “not yet dear”
“Hold on tight and I’ll fly you home”
In a flash I was back in bed alone.

Home for me was

Going Places

The bold horizon burned and died
cold in my eyes as I turned aside
on the road to nowhere
taking it slow
making it easy
in no hurry to go
I'm taking my time
for I never felt the need
to heed the latest mad fad
or follow the current day's craze
yet I don't fret or sweat
the small stuff
but I did learn
soon enough
the tide

BE TOLD, STAY BOLD AND TAKE HOLD

Be Told
What worth a thousand 
Can't be attained with hundreds 
To know the degree 
You must measure 
To get to the top of a tree 
You have to climb it.

Stay bold 
If you're working on it
It will surely work out
When you give it your all
There must be an outcome
Even if not immediately but it's certain.

I treat love as a rare art, a bold banner fluttering in the wind

I treat love as a rare art, a bold banner fluttering in the wind,
Only those who have fallen off the map of the world, the barefoot kings of the sky, are worthy,
Weavers of warm words, who weave webs of dreams and pure hopes,
Where girls come to immerse themselves in the boundless spring of poetry.
Then they

Bold Claim Bob And Wheel

Bold claim,
that kiss was just for fun.
Right now you are to blame.
Lips like a loaded gun, 
who taught you how to aim?

Whispers
cocked in automatic,
 you gave me the shivers.
Caught up in your static, 
perhass we're both givers.

One night,
you said it was a test.
With the prose I recite, 
turned out I was the best.
You love the

bold in winter's cold~
cruise in peace with no bruises
yet predict lightning 
to warn and heed nature's call
for spiritual rebirth

Cinco De Mayo - Linking Pin Sonnet

"Faith and Fireworks: Cinco’s Call to Remember"
(A Linking Pin Sonnet in Spence Format – Celebratory & Historical)

Remember the cry, the cause, the stand,
Stand for the faith that defended the land.
Land once trembling rose firm and proud,
Proud were the voices chanting aloud.

Aloud rang truth through valley and hill,
Hill of defiance, God’s sovereign will.
Will of the people,

with movie making he was bold

Scarlet Dark, Bold Wine

Lonelier than lonely, the walls cry out to I.
I choke on sour taste as I attempt to reply.
Feelings bunch up to crouch inside my throat.
I want to let them loose, put them afloat.
Not upon mountain peaks or in valleys low 
would my heartbreak know a dauntless echo.

Sweet cascading, scarlet dark, bold wine,
please, relieve this crimson
