POEM STARTER
Write an Epode based on any theme you like.
An Epode is a style of poetry where each verse is two lines which differ in meter and structure, but the second line is always shorter than the first.
Ode To Mma
I started with a private lesson once a week
Then I went on a daily streak
Three months of training BJJ and Muay Thai
Then it was time to fight my first guy
My coach asked me if I thought I was ready
I was convinced I was but couldn't keep steady
I threw a left hook and a right straight
He was still out by the count of 8
By the count of ten I convinced that I could do this over and over again
That first fight was only 13 seconds long
Ending with my hand raised
The crowd showered me with praise
At that point I knew I was turning pro
I have no regrets twelve fights later my brother who was always in my corner enlisted in the united states military
Getting in the cage without him there was kinda scary
Things were not the same it felt off And I was off my game.
That first opponent I knocked out so fast
Was also my last fight got me in a rRNC and had to tap.
