“If you're not gonna go all the way, why go at all?”
“A lifetime of training for just ten seconds. ”
". . . hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting."
Midweek Motif: Success
Consult with your experience about success and your muse, and
come back with a new poem.
I am inspired by three poems about success:
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory
As he defeated – dying –
As he defeated – dying –
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
