A Duel in Poetry

A Duel in Poetry
© Shadi Shidrawi 2015

 sitting on a sill
drained
a battle I have been in
a crave at every will

 let 'em beguile
let them stand still
it has always
been
the crowd
within

 why gregarious?
sounds slightly nefarious!
battles arising
from stories
therein?

poetic duels arise
in commentaries
disguise.
every one
on his own
will.

 poetry duel in commentary 🎩
invites all to engage in action
to respond in a couple verses
to the rhyme so eternal

 the topic
is always free
it's your contribution
that sets me free

 so if you have the courage,
then 😉
try to respond till the end
with verses and verses
only.
