A left jab wards off grief followed hook feints towards desire, the former's passion's thief, the latter's crown I aspire. With chin tucked from all pain sideways slender target sidle, this bout sparring cannot train it's combatants never idle. Fleet and fancy footworked skill quickened wits, decisive speed, one misstep's Palookaville within this ring one hereby bleeds. At first bell one sizes up with respect who's opposite, just be sure to wear a cup for low blows that aren't legit. Keep your guard up at the ready don't assume the new relation, when you think it's flow, it's eddy you're tattoo'd in combination. Don't ever turn your back do not dwell long on the rope, tire here and you're shellaced while you're on your feet there's hope. Let no referee intrude duck headbutts and showy struts, clinches here aren't always booed watch for unkind uppercuts. Unseen punch's the one that floors solid rights turn out the lights, glancing blows are best ignored best keep both hands in your sight. Marquis Queensbury not de Sade rules decided at weigh in, gloves raised together here hurrahed in this fight a draws a win. Wanna go another round? |

*grin* the question is are you ready to step into the ring? Very well written. I enjoy seeing beyond the words in your work. You have a talent that is much admired by me.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Sparring? I've never been much for boxing, but the lingo is interesting the way you've used it. Good metaphor. I'm not familiar with the Marquis Queensbury reference, but understand de Sade. "Keep your guard up at the ready don't assume the new relation, when you think it's flow, it's eddy you're tattoo'd in combination" An enjoyable and interesting write. Keep those gloves up, and keep floatin (like a butterfly?). [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (edited 11-02-2001).] |

Just a bit of Friday fun to lighten the mood. A flick of the penned wrist. Marquis of Queensbury is the term referred to the rules of the fistic art of boxing. There as well as here rules were needed to keep things above board (bored?) |
