Determination Poems
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!

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
......
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
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.
