Berton Braley has written the inspirational poem "The Will To Win."
The poem does not follow a specific rhyme scheme, but it employs random rhymes throughout. A common feature is the frequent use of lines that end with the word "it," such as "for it," "of it," "without it," and others. There are also pairs like "capacity," "sagacity," "tenacity," and "pain," "brain." Repetition is the primary figure of speech in the poem, particularly evident in the numerous "for if" phrases. Other figures of speech include climax, tautology, and antithesis.
The poet provides a formula for achieving success, outlining what we should do and what we should avoid to reach our goals. As an inspirational poem, it encourages readers to set targets and strive to achieve them.
