courage is

Courage is living without any fear
Courage is smiling when death is near
Courage is laughing when the task is sheer
Courage is.

Courage is dying for those who love you
Courage is supporting the far and few
Courage is cheering when all others boo
Courage is.

courage is the man who refuses to die
courage is the man who refuses to cry
courage is the man who refuses to comply
courage is.

Courage is the men who died in Iraq
Courage is leading a risky attack
Courage is something many people lack
Courage is.

Courage is staring danger in the face
Courage is saving those you cant replace
Courage is the thing you cannot chase
Courage is.

  3. A good metaphor poem, full of impressive and original ideas and, above all, full of WISDOM. ('Courage is cheering when all others boo'...'Courage is the man who refuses to comply')

    A few of the metaphors misfire a little (e.g. Lines 3, 6, 19), but this is mostly excellent.
