Song of the hero



Poem by:Brian Nkereuwem Kelvin:

       SONG OF THE HERO

Born and breed,much bread without,
My breath had kept my heart through it's utmost squirms,the seeming optical illusions, severally hit by Terrestrial fiasco.

My fervour yet to dim,in great fettle I wish I had win,in mirthless grin  recoiled,hope i recoup to recount.
My childhood reminiscences of my maternal grandmother ,how she'd been through life's regurgitation,
Foraging into the grove barely dusk at dawn.

Gathering beams for gas,her lucrative
Trades ,I would behind her pick as much as I could,she'd risked her's to save mine.
Grand ma, I wish I was this grown,those tiny fingers couldn't grab much then, from you have I learnt, should I figth I can win,what I see,I can get,what I plant ,I can grow,what I sow ,I can reap.

My frailty I feign not,through endless toils have I set my pace,the redicules have only made me,I won't be  marred.
That which I would refrain,I now retain.Should I lay off ? my attainment restrained,circumventing round my pride my fear.

I shudder to be beaten by mortal enemies, crestfallen countless times
When I would loose a grip off the ladder ,and twice at the peak has it been broken ,in my lowest ebb have I redound in rectitude.

My perspiration my inspiration,smiling at the ebbing tide.
Hero's are made and not born ,there are now little frailties because others have been through it all.Their conquest and defeat enough lanyard,
Elaborate pattern ,yet one facade
experience making more heroes.

Grafted into a first rate of ardent intelligence,my endless feat born of my earnest contrivance,when and were ever this story shall be repeated afterwards,you will be the Hero.

    Clearifications: "much bread without" means : Lack of enough food to eat."Circumventing round my pride my fear" means: an act of escape from the ugly side of pride and fear which hinders and makes men unsuccessful

    Wow, Brian Nkereuwem Kelvin, your poem "Song of the Hero" is truly uplifting and inspiring. I love how you weave together personal anecdotes and universal themes of perseverance, hard work, and resilience. Your use of imagery, such as "Terrestrial fiasco" and "life's regurgitation," is vivid and striking.

    One suggestion I have for improvement is to consider varying your sentence structure and length for more variety and flow. Additionally, it may be helpful to clarify some of your phrasing, such as "much bread without" and "circumventing round my pride my fear."

    Overall, your message is powerful and resonates deeply. Keep writing and sharing your words with the world. You truly have the potential to be a hero in your own right.
