An Employed Audacity Poem by Lady _off_track
An Employed Audacity
Yet...
Yet there is hope to break this dread,
For courage lies in what lies ahead;
A force of will, a spirit strong,
Can quell the terror and right the wrong.
For those who'd seek to vanquish fear,
Must stand tall, must never veer;
Must take a chance and never flinch,
And boldly face the foe and winch.
For when one's audacity is employed,
The strength of man is fully enjoyed;
The courage of the heart to test,
Will bring a sense of newfound zest.
Well crafted peace of writing to inspire bravery to face the many odds of life.
Your words have made my day! It's wonderful to know that my poem has touched someone else.
re: Poet's Notes: I, Bri, think a 'wise'/prudent person WILL 'back down from challenges' which she or he judges to be 'too risky' to attempt/tempt. bri : )
audacity (3 meanings) : 'Fearless daring; intrepidity. Bold or insolent heedlessness of restraints, as of those imposed by prudence, propriety, or convention. An act or instance of intrepidity or insolent heedlessness.'
BUTTTTT, (see my previous comments) ....the the poem would be saying to 'never flinch' AND to '...winch aka flinch', which are opposite actions, right? ;)
*** wince: 'To shrink or start involuntarily, as in pain or distress; flinch.' OK! I say use 'wince' so readers understand. IF, indeed, the poet is suggesting pain. Hmm?
also: winch: 'The crank used to give motion to a grindstone or similar device. (OR) An obsolete or dialectal form of wince*** '

winch? 'A winch is a lifting device comprising a rope or chain around a rotating drum, which turns by crank or motor. When your car gets stuck, you can use a winch attached to the front or back bumper to free the vehicle.'
I like it…even with winch—which I read as wince.
Winch is the obsolete form of wince.
