RE: "Find It Your Steel" ... Power House Creatives Contest

@quillfire

Ummm....?

First came the girls who made a great noise,
Then came the guys, more threatening in poise.

However -

I hope it inspires to find it your steel,
The honor and courage … to face your ordeals

Indeed. Mission accomplished, I'd reckon.

@fionasfavourites,

I wondered if I'd take heat for the, "First came the girls who made a great noise," line but when Katie and Kaleb read the poem, they both singled it out as a "realistic depiction of what would happen." Women use words as weapons.

Then again, so do I.

When I write poetry, it is to "reveal a truth," not "conceal it" ... which means completely ignoring the "politically correct" (but ridiculously unrealistic) aspirations of activists, whatever their persuasion.
