how he stood his grounds
and the music stopped for an eerie silence
enough for those expecting things to happen
but the music erupted again
accompanied by flashes of red and orange
rays that plunged and rose again
sustenance of unarmed combat
highlighted by the grace of movements
this time error-free but in peaceful blue
with a sudden shriek of blood-curling shout
that stabbed the air hand in hand
with bluish-gray culminating in deathly black
it went a level higher in a melee weapons attack
such is the grace of poetry in motion
movements of ballet stature but of brute force
seen in a dance sequence of colors
Grace at d'Verse MTB - synesthesia
Very nicely done. A great take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteI really saw the colours reading this: you brought out the 'art' in 'martial art' - nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this Hank, Bruce was a fascinating person to watch is the executed his craft. Definitely poetry in motion.
ReplyDeleteI so admire his movements - grace of poetry in motion! I remember his shout before his calm but brutal force.
ReplyDeleteYet another wonderful verse Hank. Most enjoyable to read.
