Welcome, lovers, dreamers, writers and romantics to the Tapology Poetry Corner! A place for poems, short stories, novels or any kind of creative writing. Just because we're hardened MMA fans, doesn't mean we don't have a softer side. Have you written a poem about Fedor Emelianenko's legendary career? A ballad about Jan Błachowicz? A fan-fic about Paige VanZant? Post it here! 

Any and all artistic writing welcome and if it's related to MMA then even better!

I'll start by reposting a couple of poems I wrote in the Miscellaneous Thread.

Mrs. McKickerChoke

Mrs. McKickerChoke lived on an island
The fight island in our hearts
She would mend, sew and make, and often bake
Delicious, juicy jam tarts

All the neighbours loved her, for she was so kind
And brought honour to her family name
The children adored her and their parents told them
To grow up to be like her, the same

She had a little boy, whom she called Fisty
A bright young fellow, you'll see
Like her, he was kind and full of soul
And well respected on Tapology

No one had a bad thing to say
About the lovely McKickerChokes
On their island, they were second to none
They were truly to island's top folks

"I wish you good luck but I don't want you to rely on luck"

Ballard of Baldric

Is he a fish?
Is he a rat?
He speaks his mind
And that is a fact

He is a writer in the true sense of the word
His use of similes and metaphors is truly astounding
But sometimes he goes a bit too far 
And pisses off those around him

Sean Connery as the face of an Australian
A curious choice indeed
His breakdowns of the fights are brutal and honest
Which this forum frankly needs

Sometimes he will stand alone
The lone oak in a pine tree plantation
But those who dare to battle his wits
Often get roasted to eternal damnation

The anticipation comes to an end and then starting bell rings..  It is finally time for glorious violence to begin..

He we go, time for the thrill, for tonight its Walker vs Hill..  Both men with weapons to kill..

Just  like that, rat tat tat tat tat.. Walkers out cold before he even hit the mat..

It happened so fast, Walker gets clipped. Hill emerges victorious…time for another bong rip!

Stephen I started writing that Fisty's mom poem. I am too hung over today to do anything else. But it should be fun and I will post it here.

Here's my poem for you @Cheeseball

A Very Cheesy Poem

Once upon the internet, there was a talking ball of cheese
He talked about MMA and all it's violent punches and knees
Don't let his cheesy demeanour fool you, he's actually very tough
And when it comes to calling fights, he certainly knows his stuff

What type of cheese he was, I truly cannot say
He could've been cheddar, parmesan or maybe even brie
Maybe one day, I should try a slice
One things for sure, it will certainly be nice

There's another thing about him which I feel that you should know
He's Tapology's resident expert on all thing concerning sumo
He knows his rikishi from his dohyos and even more than that
He managed to convince me there was more to the rikishi than just their excess fat

There'll never another ball of cheese like him, he truly is a great
Rumour even has it that he doesn't have an expiry date
This I can believe as he has not a single bit of mould
Joking around with him is a laugh, that will never get old

Epic of Miss McKickerchoke (a plea to Hygieia).


A footless, iambic, low-rent rimas dissolutas in six parts. Hey, you get you pay for which in this case is nothing. Part I:



Oh Hygieia! Come burn to smoke
the streets where Miss McKickerchoke
hawks mussel green and winkle brown
to drunkards and the thirsty blokes
who pay in pennies on the pound
to part the buboe'd legs for fee
that wouldn't buy a dozen eggs
and groan their genes into her bowels
lament the service ought' be free
oh scorch and sear and scald them clean!



And set to torch the ways and lanes
and gutter-routes where she has been
and gobbled garbos in the rain--
it didn't wash the silvery sheen
like something towed by slug or snail--
Oh Hygieia, the slime! She's milking Johns
by pan and pail, their beans which blow
like brine from whales are swelling
into ponds! Bring Antiseptic fire to scour
the haunting reek where ruts the swine!
