Strength, Resolve


Poem Artwork

Tried to make her stumble

Tried to make her crumble

Tried so hard to break her

And see her humbled

 

This time your luck has run out

She’s ready to rumble

And make you take

A tumble

 

Tried so hard to play your tricks

Such a pity you didn’t know

Much about the Phoenix

And how much she is able to fix

No matter how hard you tried

To destroy her again & again

She rose.

 

A rare bird indeed

So unique, a miracle in fact

She managed to escape from your trap

Rising slowly from the ashes

Spreading her wings

A glorious sight

To behold

 

Thought she would forever be at your mercy 

Eventually; she is set free, soaring

Way up high, headed for the

Freedom of the sky

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
