Mettle (Haiku)
The thought behind the little poem “Mettle” In this poem called “Mettle”, the speaker persona endeavours to advocate that we all should stay stable and strong mentally, no matter what happens with us. There may be storms, there may be ruffled winds, but we must know how to sail both in fair and inclement weather. Life is full of ups and downs, and we all must get an equal share of it. Hence, we have to stay indomitable in spirit. Only then we can endure like Sisyphus in life’s battle. We might not become triumphant, we might not become glorious, but we will never be defeated and destroyed for a strong gust of wind, for a blistering blizzard, for the swelling sea and so on and so forth. We need to hold on firmly enough so that we can never get knocked down by the sudden blow, by the sudden calamity, and by the sudden mishaps. Let us all come to learn the true meaning of life so that we can sail smoothly in the ocean forever. The poem -- "Mettle"
