    Beaten Boxer

     Feeling punch drunk
    Beaten, bloodied and bruised
    Cut up, thrashed, cheated
    Knocked around and used
     
    Nine rounds in ring
    With a broken nose and swollen eyes
    The guy was much bigger
    The fact I lost was no surprise
     
    Why did I do it?
    No one even knows
    I took my lumps, was defeated
    Punch after punch I took those blows
     
    A light weight
    In a Heavy weights class
    All I got was pummeled
    Then knocked to my ass
     
    Even in defeat
    I still have my pride
    A lofty goal I had
    In the ring I tried
     
    Out classed and out sized
    I was the smaller man
    With a little more training
    Some day will I beat him? I think I really can!
     
    D.B. Johnson

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
