THE PLUNGE

POEM

Emboldened by his words of courage
shedding the last
remnants of fears and apprehensions
I took the plunge and
went straight to confront the enemy
who had already
girded up his loins to
fight against anyone
whoever he was.
Upon seeing me summoning
courage walking straight in his direction
to take on him
he roared  like
a lion upon seeing a lesser enemy.
Still sticking on to
the words of my guide
I went and jumped closer to the enemy
and he who was
audacious and arrogant
turned into a deflated balloon
just by a sharp needle of boldness.
If at all I am indebted to anyone
he is the one who imparted words of

courage and blessed me with victory…
