Question: Is this poem pointless!?
*****
rocky
by TD Euwaite

a blow to the head
staggers him not
wades into the hits
puts up his mitts
fights a good fight
in the battle of wits

furrowed brow beaten
by quick and clean shots
from children so smart
doomed from the start
his pointless stick
swings at their darts

Just to quote you!. =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think it's pointless!. I like "from children so smart, doomed from the start!.!.!." It seems allot of fighters really are smart, but maybe lacked what they needed growing up!. Good visualization and summation of the characters involved!. I am not a litterary genius, but i can relate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I don't think so!. I read it few times to get anything out of it though (grammar would help with that I think) but it reminds me of children fighting!.!.!. the clever, cruel things said to each other, and the helplessness of being pitched against them!.!.!. I don't know if that's what you're going for, but it's what I ended up with!. It needs a little tidying, but it made me think, which is good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We who have taught have all had days line that!. Other times, the students are like thirsty sponges, greedily absorbing knowledge!. Either way, they can leave a teacher exhausted at the end of the day!. Bless their hearts! I guess that is why we keep coming back for more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

WELL!.!.!.!.!.until you brought in wits I thought a Rocky poem but then the wit and the children!. You lost me or did you just want to make my poor brain work this early in the morn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yep !.!.!.!.Children could be Devious & Mischievous!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.And the teacher !.!.!.!.!.!.Well !.!.!.!.If there unprepared there in troubleWww@QuestionHome@Com

"Are you smarter than a fifth-grader" comes immediately to mind!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

So, were you the teacher being schooled or the kid applying the ammo!? I would guess the kid!. Well said!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
