Male dominated
A sport steeped with traditions
in modern Japan
Towering above
other underlings weighing
some four hundred pounds
Stomping and pushing
Grappling the thick loin cloth
Hissing and heaving
A fight lasts seconds
but adrenalin flow rise
to its peak all
night

i just have a hard time envisioning female sumo...just saying...some awesome power they are throwing around you know...i would not want to get in the ring...just saying...
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Brian! The rough and tough, rumble and tumble makes it exclusively male. Apparently there're no women fighters just yet!
DeleteHank
I have to go along with Brian. Difficult enough to imagine anyway, but with female contestants...
ReplyDeleteYeah female sumo hard to imagine indeed. Not sure why anyone would want to get that large though.
ReplyDeleteAwesome take on The Tower, a surprising take ...
