Sometimes the last line <br />comes out of the blue - <br />one to the solar plexus, <br />an uppercut; <br />you never saw them coming; <br />you don't remember after that.. <br /> <br />you're flat on the canvas, <br />knowing you've been put in place; <br />'Poet loses title-fight, <br />clean KO in the 12th...' <br /> <br />When it came to the punch, <br />the poem knew best - you, you were nowhere. <br /> <br />I'll say this - you know class <br />when you see it.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poet-takes-count-in-last-round/
