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!

@Stephen I studied philosophy for six years.  There are admittedly health risks.  It’s wise to treat those questions with kid gloves.  But it was also brave to ask them.  I love that our species asks them. ❤️ 🕷 🌋

@Moorlady 

I never really studied philosophy but it's important to ask those questions tbh. It reminds me of this question one of my old high school teachers put to us out of the blue in a middle of a RE (Religious Education) class:

"How can we understand anything about the universe around us if we don't even know our place in it?"

The Morning Star (He So High)


Our nations all lie in ruin
The virgins have been totally consumed
Impending senses of fear and doom
This resting place may become our final tomb

Infected raw puss filled womb
In the cities there is no more room
Rabble crippled, cramped, distraught with dread
Muzzle flashes, a rush of blood to the head

So lets all go down and wallow in our filth
Sacrifices made, the unworthy have been killed
For tributes sent up to a noble Lord so high
The Morning Star illuminates for eternity in the moonlit sky

I am living out my lost dream of being a death metal or black metal band vocalist with some dark poems

Is There A God?


Derangement, psychosis, poisoning of the wells
Last train out of town, ringing of the bell
Hordes coming in numbers, ravaging these lands
The ignorant will always tell you, this is just God's plan

Running and limping for the hills
If your caught you may be grilled
Hung up high from a lampost tree
Set ablaze for all to see

The truth is that there is no God
If there is he/she is irrelevant to our cause
Reincarnation happens, it is written in bronze
Many lives lived, many more ahead over many horizons

@WastelandWanderer

I really like those ones! There's something about darker poems that makes them stick in your mind more. Give you more to think about I feel.

All hands to deck,
All hands to deck,
To right the ship that Circe cast
Off her course with dispersed oars

Gather spars and
Gather cords
Gird her in sailcloth,
And point her home to Penelope's shores.

"While I Have Breath, I Have Hope."

Cocaine


Cocaine is a concubine to many
She is a ***** to plenty
She takes us so high
After I come down I feel empty


Swingin in the 80s
Miami nights, we were all mighty
She keeps you hyped all the time
Getting grunged in the 90s


They say we all have a problem
But I say it's societies, not mine
Its my time, our time to shine
Walk a million miles in my shoes, but first, do this line

@Stephen Terry The best ones are written on a whim, you have to let them flow when you force them they dont turn out as good and you still have to force a littlle anyway... Just wait for a random creative spark then write one down

Wine and Dine

Why should I wine and dine
When you can never be mine?
You will soon be in decline
I need to leave this behind

Little Britain (Fussy Stussy Trussy/MBGA}

Little Britain is going under
Storm clouds, roar of thunder
Fussy Trussy has mussied the pot
Its full of puss, stale piss and meat that has rot

Pensioners eating 1 meal a day
There is no pleasure, no fun or play
Muslims prowling around, beating up gays
People are angry, depressed and dismayed

For the Gods, crown, king and country
We are all one people, one nation, one tree
Rise from the ashes, Make Britain Great Again
Our day will come, it is just a matter of when

Yep, she's just broken the record for the shortest term as UK Prime Minister lol! I'm sure the poets and satirists are out there working hard on material about it!
