New Game: Change a letter

An inexpensive kick is not so fine
So why pick on that rear of mine
In fact you may not hit your mark
Cause I can HEAR you in the dark
 
Ah! Steak and crab and salad, lore -
Perhaps we can cook up some more.
Who is READY for the feast
Of which my poor steer is the least?
Goldendragon, have some drink;
Flat and Ceicei too, I think.
Wait - now it's time to kick some rear?
To me the reason's not quite clear.
But TigerWoman will refrain
Which shows her higher, smarter brain.
Drink, Tigerwoman, Techno too,
Shodan, Rick and Sieg don't moo,
Have some tea, juice, H2O
I always do enjoy the show
And all the talk that's sometime's martial
To you all I am quite partial
If my simple verse brings joy,
To your laugh, an "attaboy!"
Enjoy your time for it is short
So do laugh much - make small retort.
Though non of us would ever boast,
I offer all of you a toast
TO YOU, my dear, fun MT friends
My silly versing? Now it ends.
 
Impressed am I, this show of skill
I'd not anticipated this
In such a place, with such a will,
Your poetic hunger feels no fill,
Bringing me sweet lyrical bliss.

Yet carry on, I hear you say
to many here you've referenced.
We've seen the past and present way
evolving to this game we play,
creative muscles ever tensed.

YEARS shall pass, can it go on?
I'd like to see continuance.
The challenge revealed, met, and won
Players come, and others gone,
And those who stay with diligence.
 
Flatlander;
He must be a lit. teacher -
Five-meter.

I shan't STRAY.
Enjoyment here continues.
This is bliss.

Poetry;
Variety can prove skill,
Captivate.
 
End of 'sulsa's silly versing ?
I certainly hope not
To quit this "Change a letter" now
Would really get me hot!
I'm so impressed with all the wit
That's tossed back to and fro
From all of those on MT here
I have to read some mo!
Lit skills "not I" some have expressed
Ohhhh you silly MT Bunch
The skills are great and clever too
Beyond just kick and punch
You see, Tiger Woman.... and Ceicei too
Flatlander, Seig and Rick
Shodan and Techno Punk have chimed
Their quips are really slick!
To captivate and share the bliss
For the enjoyment here of all
We can not stop this madness
Or let this Game now stall
We've got to call on Shaolin Wolf
And Tess the "Queen of Pain"
Or possibly Ricardo, (even tho he is a pain)
To all the "readers only"
Of this cutsie little thread
Don't just sit there on your bottoms
Please share what's in your head
For now my rant is closing
The Dragon's in both Shock and Awe
So please keep on a postin'
To quit, would be the final STRA
W.

Quit? Not I, She-Sulsa said
You really are too much
Let's pluck that thought right from your head
Won't leave this happy bunch!

Back am I to conjure wit
I'm back to rhyme some more
and Goldendragon's last straw, it
is STREWN upon the floor.

Trample it to pieces, y'all
Whoop and Hip and Yipe
Pull your think caps off the wall
Come on up here and type!
 
Upon my return home you see
From my anniversary,
My time away from you
Was spent saying “I love you!”

Thirteen years along the way,
Four kids and all the things they say,
My time with him, my greatest love
And Kenpo is my second love.

To MartialTalk I run to look
At my favorite virtual nook;
And find the DragonÂ’s straw
Could get stuck in someoneÂ’s craw.

To STREW upon the floor no more
But think into my memory store.
Quickly type something out,
Avoid the GoldendragonÂ’s pout!

- Ceicei
 
No time to WASTE as I type out
With finger puffed from recent bout
The honor mine to put to test
Our newst BB woman got no rest
But left me with a finger blue
jammed alas, but nothing new
since long ago the error made
is fresh remembered not to fade
until perhaps the morrow mend
and hopefully on Monday bend,
but 'nough of that, it did not stop
the music fest was not a flop
though fans so few did attend
the music worth the ticket send
enjoyed the fiddle, mandolin too
the banjo, guitar, to say a few
as moon came up for all in view
a good time was had for all who do.
But 'nough of day already past
now to catch up on what was last.
 
Sultry summer night brings haste and lo,
Common housekeep open yon window;
Comes relief of sun, sweat, salt and STEAM,
So to cool the brow and welcome dream.
Lovers languish, they delay their quest,
Welcoming the coolness as a guest.

Iambic pentameter is fun.
I await the Goldendragon's pun,
Or Flatlander's sweet linguistic skill;
Technopunk will move in for the kill.
TigerWoman nurses her sore paw;
Ceicei's celebration makes us "Awww...."
Where's the rest of our fine rhyming crew?
Off to dreamland, by the chance they flew?

Slumber, friends in cooler air the night,
And rise tomorrow ready for the fight;
The fight for mindfulness of dwindling days
To hone ourselves, our minds, our fists, our ways.
Deep bows to all my friends on internet -
All you martial ones I've never met.
 
Sorry for my pause in time
Was out of town with those boys of mine
Jeff Speakman's camp in Vegas we did crash
And came home with some pocket cash
Met with LaBounty, Sepulveda, and Ol' Gil Hibben
Trejo, White, Paul Dye, ... I'm not a fibbin!
Many other friends were also there in town
As Benny the Jet was kickin' them around.
As I checked back in... I see Ceicei's post
About her great event and little boast
Of her 13 years and 4 little tykes, she chimed
Thus revealed what she does in her spare time
Sad to hear of Tiger woman's finger
But that's what happens when you let them linger
Those new Black belt women want to show what they can
Accidents can happen if you leave open your hand.
To ease the pain a music fest was near
Tho not great in numbers it was fun to hear
See said it's too Hot and Sultry to make love
So Shesulsa just stared at the moon above
Patiently waiting for another date
One much cooler to complete her fate
To compete with Ceicei might be a chore
But I do think Ceicei needs just one more.....
Then her family will number the magic 7
One for each day of the week as sent from heaven
Well done for now... so off to the pool
It's 106 so I need to cool
Ya'll have fun and juice up this thing
I'll await your response to our crazy string.
 
STEAM

Since Goldendragon a word not left
I will go on from Shesulsa's vignette,
Finger still stiff, sore and swollen,
can't make a punch or or even goin'
to class this week cause I'm upset
over MASTER and new Black belt test.

I do not know how long to do
this jump break on knees of glue
A year to practice knife and jump
and then a year to try and try, then dump
because for new 2nd testers he has made
too easy the breaks so I wlll fade.

For what will it mean even to achieve
when others jump at the chance to believe
that they can make 2nd and not have to work
and gladly pass me by like a stab with a dirk
all because I stood up for a student, a girl
I stood in his way to make her his shirl.

He professed of integrity and of honor
but where was that in deceit and dishonor
or humility to be able to say I'm sorry
all I've gotten from him is upped breaks
and disrespect and no consideration...
But his son's baby's grandmother will test
soon and she could not do what I had to do.
She who stepped in and said he was golden
and buried her head instead of beholden
so that I had to fight for the girl
with her parents and get her away...
Life is not just, integrity too costly
I can't see how to go on, TKD will be lost
 
Ah yes, these challenges we face
Within the martial arts for us.
It sure isnÂ’t easy to keep pace
When those we see will soon pass by.

Whether it be MISTER or maÂ’am, young or old,
Strong or weak, experienced or new,
Our styles will make our hearts as gold,
When we display good character.

Although we think that others count,
The most important one of all,
ThatÂ’s the person to not flout
Just look into the mirror and see.

That heart of gold, so carefully made,
Earned with sweat, tears and pain,
Wrapped with a black belt never to fade:
That badge of a martial artist so true.

- Ceicei
 
Maybe we should revert back to the original rules of this game. It started out with one word, then evolved into a sentence, then evolved into poetry/prose. It is harder for people to get involved with each game evolution. The last word used was mister. I shall continue on with the new word below.

MUSTER
 
BURSTED

(as in...my poetry bubble is now...) 's cool - let everyone play this game...I'll start another thread in Urusai called POETRY Change a Letter, starting with this word...okay?
