Black-Eyed Pieces
You're on top, so, you think you've got 'em,
But, you don't understand, boxing's pugilistic ways.
Then, you're dropped, you hit rock-bottom,
They say, Hey Punchy, who carries your luggage these days?
You won, cuz, you knew you were, "The One,"
Now, you've got scars, broken bones that...never really healed.
With no more, "Glory Days," in the sun,
It's December, can't remember,

Christmas Tree Lot
They dressed me up in tinsel
and lametta I recall
stood me in a corner
not as a wallflower
I was the belle of the ball
but now my needles shedding
the moment I've been dreading
limp lonely forgotten neglected
not long before I'm ejected
and two weeks later here am I
a sad and sorry sight to behold
enough to make one cry
discarded by the

I bought an eighty-inch TV,
just for the box—
set it up like a teepee.
Jump in like tee-hee!
Throw the screen out the window.
Let it crash.
Now there’s an 80” stuck in my lawn,
and people slow down just to whisper,
“Wow… this guy’s artsy.”
Turns out Mary didn’t even have a lamb.
She was just a crack head
Life is better made of

We forgot to buy a loaf today, but there is an apple tart in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow we will feast on cake and think of the daft woman in France, whose name I have forgotten
Putin was offered a 30-day break from warring, and he gracefully thanked Trump for his interest

a Sunday eleven year ago
Any Sunday 2015
Long is Sunday, empty streets
a tunnel of silence,
damp pavement, water trickles
into gutters.
Burnt matches, *** butts and
yesterday's leave forms a rust
brown dike, it bursts and floods
tiny pebbles-
flowers on the window sills
admire the rain on glass.
A life spent in a pot fear
no weed and see no evil.
A black cat decides not to
cross the road,
a child

CHRISTMAS — BOXING DAY 2024
By Leon Enriquez
Here on this good earth
A story draws near
A tale of wise mirth
To usher good cheer
A touch of true peace
In a world of strife
Sad hurts in this life
Blessing of new lease
As true love draws near
In a sacred birth
Of faith and hope here
Of goodwill on earth
~~~~~~~~~
When gloomy times

BOXING DAY BLUES a hiku sonnet
shorts,white socks
sandals and panama-
winter-white legs
no wind,blue skies
dozing in a deckchair-
my afternoon tea stews
hottest day of summer
flying ants on high-
a swallows' drive by
summer-days ever-lasting
memories so tender-tasting

Breathe
I was in His bosom
With no form or comeliness
Created from dust
Nothing moved me
Until dust came to life by
His breath
The very nature of Him
I am created to praise Him
That I will always do
Let your breath come afresh
on me
Renew me with your Spirit.
(Written 7th January. 2024)

My Amrit
No one only his eyes
Shows the symbol of love
Even If I commit mistakes
His eyes reflects sign of guilt
Perception differs
Not even we have single matches
But
Our hearts crawl to see each other faces
No one was able to lure my heart
His innocent face was one
Which took away
Even the

Pitbull Boxing
Pitbull Boxing the rules have changed/
It's a little different in this pitbull Boxing ring/
We fight till the death, nothing more or less/
There's no time to think, no time to catch your breath/
Put your paws up, I'll make you suck a knuckle/
Step into the ring, I'll beat you to the buckle/
Once I lock on you, there's

Drollery The Antisetic Poet
Allusion the word used
it seemed out of place
and wedged between
repetition and simile.
Her thick English sounding accent
was as attractive as her
Gorgous face and , she had
more appeal then all the Ladies here combined!
She was talking about writing and began
bragging about the day she
was in Windsor Canada and meet
Feasty Broadway ( the world renewed)
Musician and singer.
She said
