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
