Bodies made of flawed design,
Echoing majesty of the divine
Twisting, turning, contorting forms,
An aspiring artist performs
Striking noble figure in his gi,
Demonstrating his talent for all to see
Smiling with pride as he finishes his routine,
No one will ever say he never tried
One last dazzling manuever to win over the crowd,
Then he walks awat from his work completed
Chest full of pride
Author notes
INspired by Tae Kwon Do, and Marital arts in general. For those of you that don't know gi is the traditional name for the uniform worn in marital arts.

Nice
I love how people are taking things not typically considered "art" and showing how they truly are art forms. Everything we do as humans is art. I believe that creativity is laced in every day life. I really enjoyed this view into an art I am not at all familiar with. I like how the structure and tone resembled the control that martial artists are known for possessing. Well done!
Thanks for the entry!

Thanks, I really enjoyed writing it. It was actually inspired by one of my instructors, he told me it should be my goal to be both beautiful and deadly.
