Karate Poems

"Ki-Ahp!" I draw back my arm like a sword,
stepping back to challenge, before bracing forward.

Like weapons meeting, grunting lips clink,
each movement controlled, bodies never link.

Roundhouse kicks swing, kumgang punches pop.
Whirlwinds can be felt with each rapid chop.

Maneuvers are blocked with reflexes swift.
From side to side, back and forth we shift.

Rhythmically flowing like a rehearsed dance,

Clegg Finished the Legs of Greg

Mag's lover hasn't been seen since.
Mag does nothing but in pain wince.
Her tall Greg was her world,her Prince.
"Once dead Forget A Come-Back means! "

Hoe was popularly Greg's foe;
Thus,his dad's farm refused to grow.
A lot Greg had slept on a mat
And guessed not he'd be adding fat.
Off he had to go for slimming
And with Kung Fu

“I know karate”
his smile kicks
180 degree radius
at his brother
that’s what little brothers do

A bit worried -
grandma’s sock filled with marbles
making a loopty-loop

a pending privates joke

Karate Practice

I went to karate to learn how to kick

And there I found a super sweet chick

I wanted her to give me a lick

So I axe kicked in half a large stack of brick

Before I could brag my sensei asked for a meeting 

In the back room with uncomfortable seating

He said my kicks were so EPIC

Is very important in a family's life.

Obedient husband as quiet, as a calf.

Karate

Knees quivered, but he stood
Keeping breaths in control.
Kata after kata
Kicked out years of fat and
Ketch up. For this, he'd a
Knack! The cute girl from work
Knocked him out on day two.

Karate Pee

I once was a boy who was scared of his karate teacher the most,
He would yell and scream, our faces would be so close.
During one lesson, I had to go number one and time was running out fast,
I didn’t dare ask him to go, so there I went in the middle of class,
The girl next

Karate Terror

Tae Kwon Do Promotion tests,
And several schools did meet
To take our tests for promotion,
When I first met killer feet

We all sat on the Do-Jo floor'
Awaiting each our turn,
But there was one karate warrior
His feet could kill us all
How he ever showed up,
I'll never figure out such gall

His power wasn't a punch,
Nor a deadly kick to
