Knockouts Poems | Examples


Premium MemberAll The World's a Stage

People may frighten us by making shouts.
Often, they threaten us throwing big bouts.
Remain composed.
Don't get exposed.
Patience and silence are the best knockouts!



A deaf ass meets a dumb tiger, one day.
The tiger pretends to growl at his prey.
It believes that the ass hears.
The ass fakes as if it fears.
All the world's a stage! Anyone can play.

Crown The King

CROWN THE KING
 
Kendrick, king of kinetic kinesis,
Kaleidoscopic knowledge knits keenest.
Kindled by Compton's kinetic flame,
Keen verses vie for victory, acclaim.4

Knightly in kendo of kindred beats,
Keeps a killing calmness under knit sheets.
Kicks, knuckles, knockouts off his notes,
His knavish knacks, knight-errant floats.8

King of the craft, crowned in creative conquest,
Kendrick the keystone, like Kinta Kunte's quest.
The keeper of keys to kingdoms is K.Dot,
Kindhearted kinfolk, Kenny is kinetically hot.¹²

Kendrick's alter ego kits Kung-Fu Kenny,
Kdot's "6:16 in LA" & "Not Like Us" impressed many.
Kendrick's career-spanning series of the same name
Keeps Kung-Fu Kenny kitted-up in the rap game.¹6

Kaleidoscope king, keep kindling the art.
Crown King Kendrick, he who's carved apart.¹8

Clay Versus Ali

Clay, wet  and unmoulded struck a pose in front of the mirror
An introspection on the reflection of a man that could be a hero
He floated into the ring and his fluttering shook the world
Though skilled, trained and talented, his sting was truly his word

They entered the ring to spar these two heavy weights
In-between their crimson gloves, crashing blows and knockouts!
With a staunch faith and self belief ran a strong political campaign 
One would emerge a genius to forever be the people’s champion…Ali

Purpose has to surface
without it we could hurt this
Thing we've got
We're just not
suppose to aim with no target
Plan to end when we start it
never dearly departed
Tears of the broken hearted
don't fall retarded
Love I never bought it 
I just give & receive
Pains of the emotion affect 
what I believe
Lies of my lovers influence
how I perceive
Tongues of the tempting, tip toeing, 
females in the breeze
Please
Females gone with the wind
Especially the knockouts
one to the chin
The mind of a man who loves
beginning to end

Champing At the Bit

Champing At the Bit! ©

I hear the roars in the almighty arena
I like to see many a game played out
I am a contender ready for sport
Out for a rematch when elected to strike
Bringing on 'mite and dare' with battle-ax!
. 
Inside fielders, outside shots 
With vinegar, brawn, spit and guts
Side lines, guidelines guard rails spin
 Play your bit and take over until ‘taken’
“Roll me over in fields of clover” again 
“Let's roll out the barrel” once more
“The gangs all here” for (old time’s sake)!

To ‘bare’ false teeth replaced from knockouts 
Falsely breathing like the lion when times taken ‘out’
False starts, ball belongs to the court ‘out of bounds’
Man ‘sports’ a rebel cry with clansmen at the helm
Fight your battles; fight your wars, fight to finish!
