My Iron Fists (Poem 2 of My Kung Fu Shoes)

I’m going to pierce your mind
with my lyrical genius twists
Your head will swell up
by the beat of my Iron fists.

Come, bring on your finest writings
Prove to me you’re something more.
Show me some creative magic
I have never seen before.

“she loves me, she loves me not”

Come now, that’s all you got?
Your muddy words are such a bore
Your nursery rhymes are so outplayed
Your nothing but a copycat whore.

Here now, let me show you how it’s done,
I’ll strike your one good crooked eye
With my supernatural verses
You’ll be left blind, wondering why

And I would reply, I do not follow your ways,
for I have the lyrical punch of my iron fists
And the poetic kick of my kung fu shoes
With which you’ve just been fatally kissed

Since you do not understand,
this poem is written just to entertain,
with your surface thinking minds
you’ll think I’m boastful and vain

it doesn’t matter,
because now you lay there slain.

    Could it be that I have said too much or is it too little that falls on deaf ears.
    If you are not who you are at the start, what difference would it make at the finish.
    Meditate, clear your mind, it makes it blank so I find, finding answers from within and without.
    Are you sure yet of the questions without a doubt, hope this helps to make things clearer, whatever ponderings may come to cheer you, if the answers cannot be found, be still relax, don’t comfound.
    For first it helps to come know the past, then my friend maybe the future you can grasp!

    Dizzyfatplonka, I appreciate you stopping by, but I wonder what your comment has to do with this poem?

    Reading your poem I saw the 2nd & 3rd paragraghs as invites to people to attempt poems of their own, was this a wrong deduction?

    oh ok, no problem Dizzyfatplonka, I didn’t realize that your post was a response to this fictional challenge. Thank you for sharing your talent!

    Interesting travis. You have nice rythem - would be interested to see you get into some traditional forms like a sonnet.

    I really like the structure of your work. This poem is just a little too whimsical for my personal tast - but I enjoy the structure. I think you could probably do good with the classical forms. Thats a compliment - I love free verse.
