A Rocky Start, Rising From the Ashes — November Poem Competition
A poem about overcoming adversity to win!
When Robert Ralph started writing on Medium, He nearly quit because of some bully girl tedium, He pondered his shortfalls and shared his dismay, Then found lots of support — people saw things his way! So he rose from the ashes and started to write, In the face of his sorrow, he’d found inner fight! He took the platform by storm, writing to win, Leaving others in awe at his ability to spin… A great story, a poem, or a fun competition. As he keeps aiming higher… He’s a man on fire!

This is my first ever poem! I’m quite pleased with myself.
