Poem
Dark rain dripping hands and feet poised ready as danger appears Two Kung Fu masters ~ trouble eye to eye There would be no peace ~ the tension was high Each one knew that their Kung Fu was the best This deadly duel was the ultimate test The earth gravitates heat waves forming within a soul Those watching could not see what each one thought In this Art of War ~ composure was sought Each knew that one move could bring their demise Lightning strikes ~ deadly blows ~ such cloudy skies Butterfly feet lifts shaping sharpening soul daggers whizz forward Stalking in a circle ~ slow did they move Gazes locked ~ hands cocked ~ this battle would prove Who's fist style was the best ~ skills they did not lack One said "Enough!" ~ he then launched his attack Fist on flesh electric luster crackles a visceral snarl His hands and feet became punches and kicks Vicious techniques in the rain did he pick The attacked moved with grace out of harm's way Within striking distance ~ response without delay Phantom lightning strikes circle within a circle souls become blades Raining hammers ~ the attacker felt the blows So many angles ~ some struck high ~ some low The one attacked moved in circles ~ here and there The attacker was lost ~ his target seemed everywhere What appeared aimless was actually a glazed cover Witnessed by all ~ the one attacked lost "her" hat Long hair cascaded to "her" shoulders ~ all were staring at A Kung Fu "Masteress" ~ they were taken by surprise The attacker defeated by "she" ~ in a man's disguise Lips curling one side a demure little maiden fixing eyes on him A lesson was learned ~ never under estimate It affects the outcome ~ it affects one's fate ........................ A Collaborated Poem with Walter T. Ashe This poem was written in Renga-Quatrain style, ending with a couplet. It was inspired by the action movie 'The Grandmaster'.
