On Writing Poetry

With one hand behind my back I slash and stalk With deft steps and careful tack I counter and block I slash and stalk My foe I counter and block Searching for the final blow My foe Offers no complaint to Searching for the final blow And bares its throat on cue Offers no complaint to An ending soon to come And bares its throat on cue To put an end to this scrum An ending soon to come I counter and block To put an end to this scrum I slash and stalk
