Boxers

The FIRST round

of the fight

began evenly

matched.

But then, that look...

THAT LOOK

knocked

me

out.

Allow your "disappointment" to motivate your own creative expression, Jan. Art has no path, no mold to follow. It is you, dear reader, who must not peek behind the doors of "titles"...but open yourself to fly in the sky of endless possibility....and to simply enjoy the ride. ;) Blessings!

Never stop yourself from thinking. Your brain is your second set of lungs....the way you breathe, exist. Think on, Njeri, because this poem has many innuendos tucked within. However you interpret it, then so it is. :) Have fun!
