Determination often wins the day.
No problem can't be solved, when it's applied.
Once one decides, desires won't be denied
when tasks are viewed in any different way.
Investigative skills are on display,
as problem resolution acts are tried.
Unique attempts may often coincide
when tasks are viewed in any different way.
Though some solutions seem a bit risque,
or acrobatic feats of some renown,
they'll win, while even hanging upside down,
when tasks are viewed in any different way.
Determination often wins the day,
when tasks are viewed in any different way.

Author Notes
This squirrel was definitely determined. It tried for hours to get some suet. It finally did get a bunch of it.
This poem is a Echo Sonnet.
The Echo Sonnbet was created by Jeff Green. The hallmark of the Echo Sonnet is in its repeating lines. It uses two. The first line is repeated in the Couplet. The last line of the first Quatrain is repeated as a last line throughout the poem. It consists of three Quatrains followed by a Couplet written in iambic pentameter. It features enveloping rhymes in the stanzas. The rhyme scheme is:
A1,b,b,A2 - a,c,c,A2 - a,d,d,A2 - A1,A2, although I actually modified the scheme a bit to:
A1,b,b,A2 - a,b,b,A2 - a,c,c, A2- A1,A2, to really set off the impact of the last Quatrain.
