    We have to wait a long time until the fight. In the meantime, I propose we entertain ourselves with the help of some poetry pictorials. Odes - also very welcome!

    Here's my first entry:



    It's Hammer-time in Cardiff!


    His mind disturbed by labyrinthine schemes,
    The goatish devil looks aghast,
    Whilst dark and unbelievably bad dreams,
    Unremittingly now flutter past:​


    Seeing his stallion stretched tight upon the rack,
    And bullied cruelly ever futher back
    Against the seething, flamings cords,
    Leaves the corruptor, frankly, without words...​


    His ride, the proud old warhorse, now,
    Is clearly cast in statuesque inaction!...
    There is no warren now for him to hide,
    To find some respite, pause or satisfaction!​


    Under the rough chastisment of the Viking
    The brittle hands of the smitten tired King
    Are now in supplication raised,
    And, in the Cardiff moonlight, appear brazed
    And from too much slap and tickle - pink! ​


    Alas! The sea and waves may not be ordered back,
    What's aged and dusted must finally receive the sack!
    Therefore acclaim the new Champion of the Ring!
    The King is dead! Long live the Viking!​

    From birth to demise,
    One Viking shall rise,
    while the king truely dies
    To me - no surprise.

    You probably will have time to put it down on paper until November...right? Or even better still, do it in 30 minutes!;)

    Here's something a little more low brow I wrote in tribute to the fight, also keep in mind this has no particular form or structure.


    Danish Boxing Day


    After the wrangling and haggling it was set for November,
    Kessler, Calzaghe a fight to remember.
    the moment draws closer, until it's finally upon us.
    No more wondering or waiting,
    an answer's the onus.

    The Dane prepares in his corner, the atmosphere thick,
    as Deram gives the final polish to Mikkels' dick.
    As the bell for the first round sounds in Kesslers' head,
    it still seems to be ringing as reindeer fly across the window,
    while he stirs in a hospital bed.

    "Why is it Christmas? Did I win the fight?!"
    "Will I be showered with gifts this Danes Christmas night?"
    Footsteps sound, he thinks, "Jolly St Nick has brought me a gift in his sack!"
    He takes the gift, but Doctor Blocky flexes his abs and takes his thermometer back,
    "Did I win? Is my fellow Dane proud? Can I shout of my victory, say it aloud?"

    I'm afraid you're not well my Danish friend,
    you're lucky they stopped it, it was almost your end.
    I'm afraid you're a pom now so don't raid the larder,
    since all Denmark agrees... Calzaghe's your father.

    Joe isn't retired yet, it can't be a true epic poem until then.
