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.
