To say this was punchy is beyond a pun. But that style is what it is. The meter and rhyme work so well along with this topic. Good to see you flex your poetic skill muscles on this one. I'm down for the count.

I got carried away in this one Jenna, but found it to be quite a powerful form for my boxing match poem, keep it tight then explode, cheers David

Good ones, David. I've found that they will generally always get you a placement in Strand's contests. Go for it!
