    Winning the fight
    When I was young and growing up I had no-one to lead
    There were no real examples from the men who circled me
    I clinched my fist and grit my teeth and got up when I fell
    Was knocked back down again and was advised to heed the bell
    Determined to win and refusing to quit I got back on my feet
    And I threw a barrage of punches that made my opponent weak
    At this time I felt fine as the blood rushed to my head
    Without loosing a beat I shuffled my feet and knocked him out instead

    Becoming a man when there is no role model is a serious deficiency, but you seem by your words to have risen to that challenge. Your determination comes through strongly in this piece, while being a lonely write at the same time. Well done!

    A great deal of emotion packed in this work. I enjoyed it a great deal. I think I havefelt that way a time or two in my life. Yet exchanging blow for blows is a forceful approach yet as one learns as they get older there is more then one way to skin a cat. If taken to a level you can completely diacect him without one blow something to think about. Not all of us has physical attrubutes as you my friend. Robert...

    This poem has an intimate rhythmic base which is esay to fall sway to as if one were signing a song. The story of this poem has an incivsive beginining a commensurable middle and a rewardful ending. Giving of ones time to read a poem, it's very nice to receive something in return. Good Work!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
