WORD WRESTLING

a struggle begins
with initial contact
at the time of weigh in

nouns and verbs
subtle in tactics,
adjectives flexing
their muscles

conjunctions ready
to tie up loose ends
in an attempt of escape
while analogies
and similes look on
during the match

metaphors in position
of takedown

the ref keeps
an eye out for
all illegal moves

if it’s weak-
it gets pinned.

perkspective

good start, I think you could play with this analogy a little bit more. An actually use the parts of speech you're referring too more in each respective stanza... overly pepper each stanza with the pos you're talking about within the wrestling analogy, and if you refer slightly veiled comments about the critics within the poem it would be even better. I'm not sure you'd get the verdict if this is all you brought to the match. *grin*

Writing about writing

I generally get drawn in to writing about writing, but this one felt a bit forced to me. It felt like it was trying too hard to fit the comparison that defined it. I think it might have been more effective to describe the fight rather than the atmosphere of fight-night. Good effort all around.
