I do like the poem and can understand your feelings. The process is described very well. I did a bit at school but Dad would not allow me to be taken on by a Boxing school. Dave.

Thanks Dave for your great review. You have a very smart Dad. Thank him every chance you get for that decision. Take care my friend.

Dad died in 1976 but as you say in that, he was smart.

My husband would certainly have liked your poem! He boxed for many years and was pretty good at it. Your rhyme is good.

Enjoyed your poem of once upon
a time. I grew up loving boxing and only did it on a very ameteur level. I played Ice hockey all my life and
therein had more fights than in a ring. Great poem
and it's good to see one about sports.

Thanks my friend for your great review. I've never played hockey, but have watched many games on TV. They should re-name this game to "Ice Boxing". Thanks and have a great day.

Nice poem. One could easily sense of what you went through in trying to pursue this profession.
However, I believe the following word you used is misspelled:
contant

Thank you Jonathon for your review and correction. I did correct that word a few moments ago. Thanks again and have a great day.

The abcb rhyming was sound. The words drew up a picture in my mind, and good use of several colours ~ bright red blood, the white towel, black and blue body, and didn't make me feel blue ~ good job. good luck in the contest.

Not only are the quatrains well rhymed, they tell a story too. Th use of color for the contest requirements are used creatively. And last, but not least, the inner message of lucky not to be a boxer, is very clear.

Comment from clsandau
This is pretty cute, but I can certainly see why you wouldn't want to continue in this occupation. Good rhyming and flow to your poem. One little thing, should 5th line from the bottom be worst instead of worse?? Thanks
