Poem Commentary

I wrote this at one of my little brother's high school wrestling meets.

Wrestling Lover

The atmosphere around me
Becomes so full of excitement
Everyone cheering for their team
Hoping for a victory

You see the determination in his eyes
As he steps to the mat
On the other side; his opponent
He's sizing up the man's flaws before the match begins

The whistle is blown
The two bodies surge in war
This is a battle
Only one will prevail

Three periods; each two minutes
During that time anything can happen
Throughout the season, the wrestler makes a name for himself
The experiences makes him that much better

As the two warriors battle it out
There must be a winner in the end
They will get tired and lose strength
But it'll all be worth it, when the referee raises one hand

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
