For winning in contest
Both intelligence and luck are needed
Though great skill is!
The premise of your poem is presented backwards and was therefore not immediately understood. Looking for a metaphor, I could not find one. Therefore I assume the meaning of your poem was straightforward as: Though seeming to rely on great skill to enter and win this contest, intelligence and luck are equally as important. If there is some underlying meaning to this declarative statement that would make it worthy of being called a poem, sorry but I did not find it.
For me each and every poem is delightful because it comes directly from heart which can not be ignored. Any contest doesn't matter for poetry.
Your view is right.There is a saying in English,99% perspiration and 1% inspiration makes success.
I believe it so... those are the ingredients in wining the contest! Thanks.
To prepare for the contest needs skill but to win it, one also needs a bit of luck. The whole idea is very well articulated and nicely put across. Thanks, Ramesh ji.
You are right! Luck and skill are both needed to win contests! I know from pasts experiences!
Comments and encouragements from my readers are overwhelming and confirms my win in the contest!
