Of Unmistakable Achievements Reached Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It takes much more than hype,
And bloated embellished images...
To declare one's arrival,
At heights...
Of unmistakable achievements reached.

Too many are quick to add adjectives,
To accomplishments.
As if only statements are required,
To make exaggerations believed.

The proof is in the pudding.
And the taste of it is approved,
As being great.
Beyond the comments that critics make.

With a constant testing...
That takes persistence.
With limited objections...
By those who have observed,
A repetitive endurance.
And a correction of mistakes.
