[hometext] => Choose you battles carefully
[bodytext] => The fight was in earnest, No quarter was given All the spoils to the winner Thrust, lunge, parry and retreat All for the favors of a woman Did anybody bother to ask, The wishes of the damsel in advance Thrust, lunge, parry and retreat Perhaps her preference would be you quit While there remains two from which to select Maybe the irony is for her to choose number three Thrust, lunge, parry and retreat But the fighters raged on Until one stuck a deadly thrust And the other swordsman crumpled in the dust Thrust, lunge, parry and retreat As to the price of the ladies charm She seduced many of them to stand disarmed The winning swordsman seemed the likely one Yet it be the overseer if the fight she lost, Who collaborated as a conspirator, so she won The ultimate price, the life of the swordsman So be selective regarding the cause you are fighting for The price may be a major sacrifice that puts you on the floor So deliberate, you may not want to sacrifice anymore [comments] => 4 [counter] => 217 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
