    Poem Commentary

    OK ... this is just a frivolous offering which only an action hero movie enthusiast could appreciate. And then ... only if he's seen the movie. It's about a father saving his daughter and a large auditorium filled with hockey nuts from a band of terrorists. It's kind of a Canadian thing eh?

    Sudden Death

              SUDDEN DEATH

     

    Hollow ‘s the point which the powder will hurl

    It’s game ending cargo to the man in the mask

    Follow  to anoint this un-Heavenly task

    O reaper of sorrow and friend of a churl.

     

    Scrummers collide as the boards slap the air

    And the crowd issues volleys of praise

    All comers beware of the dead it might raise

    When the big hand gets over to there.

     

    Seventeen thousand is the strength in the yell

    All held hostage, but still unaware

    The crosshairs align on the ominous sight

    But it’s power‘s absorbed by the absence of light

    As the good guys fulfill their own prayer.

    Yes .. the lion’s defeated the bear.

    Churl is an excellent word and well used in this poem. Long is the argument that a lion can defeat a bear as most say it would be the opposite which make the ending all that more meaningful. Olan.

    : )) It is! And there's a world of folks who don't cotton to the likes of the Muscles from Brussels. thanks for the suds dev.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
