I love the poem, and the photo choice. This poem is very true, and deep. Your structure, format, and flow is great. I look forward to more.

Hi Marisela, glad you like the write; I appreciate your thoughtful comments my friend, thank you.
Comment from Roxanne Barbour
Normally, haiku do not capitalize the first words of each line.
And, actually, I feel the first line would be better written as "uncommon courage".
I do like the image depicted in this haiku, but feel that so many words starting with the same letter spoil the image somewhat.
But this definitely reads as a haiku.
Keep up the good work.

Hello Roxanne and welcome to FanStory; I appreciate your visit and the constructive review. For your information, this is not a haiku but a simple 5/7/5 contest entry, no other rules; the words starting with same letter is called 'alliteration' that is one of the beautiful tools we can use in writing. Again, thank you and welcome to the site.

This 5-7-5, Courage, has the right format and encourages courage as the one asset that will come to the fore when all of our other tools fail. Paired with determination, we can fight on to victory.
