Ricardo AlbertorioDear reader,
My daughter took a fixture of boxing gloves embellished with rhinestones and asked that I write a little poem to go with the image. This is what I came up with:
(G)LOVE
Spar with my emotions
Hit me with your love
Practice your technique
With your rhinestone gloves
Footwork, block, and jab
Uppercut to my heart
Dodging knockout punches
Holding us apart
Clinch around my neck
Kiss me with your sweat
Push me to the ropes
To neutralize the threat
The judges hold the score
Right before the count
Four and three, two, one
The winner is pronounced
Standing side by side
Fanfair from above
Bruises, scars, and cuts
The prize, our rhinestone love
OMG! This is so good! I love to box, too. So, this is right up my alley. I love that you were able to look at an object and bring emotions and stories to life from it. As always, thank you for sharing. I’m putting this one in the newsletter, too :). <3 Lauren
