Determination Poems
Peeping aspiration
by Kuenzang Dorji
The idyllic aurorae have evanesced
And in a split, a dark cloud arose
Amidst, the mighty dragon edicts
And diligently, the droplets obeyed
But behind the blankets of mayhem
The doleful aspiration peeped fearlessly
With or without
by Kuenzang Dorji
Home of nigricollis, the U glacial valley
Amidst a twilight, I shall knock your ingo
Ask me not any; with or without, but I
If only I, inflate not the burning cut
But welcome the chills of Pelela lamo
For the cause, it truly accompanied
By dayspring, open the golden gate of shrine
To voice-the long waited prayers
And brow, to hit the divine floor
Wish it or not, nothing stays long

Rubberband Man
by Stewart Watkins
There he is...
On his biz
Unbothered and untethered
After many pernicious pulls and tainty tugs
And so many ghastly grabs and sheisty shrugs
After huge stretches with hopes of breaking
And so much tension, pressure and shaking
Every time!

How Will You Stop My Madness To Search Moon In Dark Moonless Night?
by ashutosh kumar upadhyay
**English translation of the Hindi poem (given at end) : **
**Close.... all..... the.... doors, ..... close..... all...... the....... windows.**
**But......... how....... will......... you.......... stop.......... my....... m..a..d..n..e..s..s, O world, O trouble? **
**When the obstacles were small, **
**I made small hopes.**
**This habit has become such now, **
**I see hope in every despair.**

Ever So Close
by Jada Blue
Heart full of distress.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
As I look into the distance,
I see clear skies
But with hazy vision it seems cloudy.
When will I start to see clearly again
With eyes misty like rain?
I reach up towards the skies
Soon touching solid rain drops.

From the roots up
by Mario Odekerken
Beneath the soil where secrets sleep,
in shadows dark and silence deep,
a seed once cast without a sound
began to stir beneath the ground.
No witness marked the moment small,
when life first stirred beneath it all,
but roots reached down with quiet grace,
to find their hold,to claim their place.

BEYOND,Into the light
by Ariella Lawal
The world behind-a shadowed cage,
A book still waiting to turn the page...
A child of dust, with a soul untamed,
A spark within, though still unnamed.
Beyond the breakage, beyond the tears,
She rises,facing her fears.
Her soul reaches out, a pull unseen,
The world awaits just beyond her dreams.

Determination
by Somali Mukherjee
Dogs shall keep barking;
Still, never let them vex you;
It's your life, for sure.
Strong
by Leo McManus
Strong
I have been hurt,
I have suffered,
I have become strong.
