[hometext] => Boxing stirs the emotions. It is a display of courage, strength and stamina. Prize fighters are the best condition athletes in any sport. They deserve praise.
[bodytext] => This manly art
This noble quest Stand toe-to-toe To find who's best. Bare knuckes, iron fist The pugilist takes many risks The fix is in, the odds are set Integrety will meet the test. We know their names We know their sort We know their purpose We call it sport. Promoters scurry To set the fight The card is printed The date's at night. Ten rounds or more The purse is fattened Pound for pound Opponents flattened. At weigh-in time The health perceived The gloves applied The treaths unsheathed This manly art This noble quest Stand toe-to-toe To find who's best. The champs defend The challenge taken The ring bequeathed The title shaken. They're boastful, reckless Talk such trash Swelled egos rally Such egos clash. The crowd assembles The card presents The ranking leveled The bouts dispensed. "Let's Rumble!" now The cry goes out Round one begins Jabs, then a clout. A duck and weave A 'rope-a-dope,' Such tactics heed Contenders hope! This manly art This noble quest Stand toe-to-toe To find who's best. The fans all roar With every pop The favorite's reeling The score cards swapped. The contest's heated Round for round, The match is even No advantage found. The judges busy Scoring done, The ring ref's ready Let's see who's won. Both went the distance It's up for grabs The judgement coming All nerves are bared. And then the moment Comes at last An arm is raised The winner's cast. Some fans are happy, Some are sad, Some indifferent Some turn mad! This manly art This noble quest They stood the challenge Both past the test. _______________ [comments] => 2 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 38 [informant] => Varro [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )

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. ©
