Life & Death Haikus: Rocky Balboa (Original Poem)
Just to be a punching bag
With last round knockout...
Rocky Balboa represents the underdog to the fullest. Someone who will fight tooth and nail, straight from the heart, show guts, perseverance, resilience, a strong chin, unbreakable will, determination, motivation, focus, and unmoving tenacity. Although, Balboa, didn't have the best technique as far as smart boxing goes, he made up for it with all of the other attributes that make him an American past time hero. Sure he would jump in the ring and get pummelled to pieces for 11 rounds out of 12, being a punching bag and "rocked" in every which way, but somehow miraculously outlast his opponents and from sheer will is still able to land some devastating power punches in a string of beautiful, yet exaggerated Hollywood style combinations, with an epic knock out. The switch from an over excessive amount of punishment, to nearly losing the entire match, to an outcome that is near impossible, is what makes Rocky Balboa an inspiration for all fighters, to never give up until the final bell has sounded.

Rocky Balboa is an inspiration, not just because he is a fighter, but also because of the character. Sly's done a great job at showing the human side of the character which make him all the more lovable. Rocky 5 is one of my favorite movies because it is very real, very true and how Balboa handles it makes him who he is.
Thanks for writing this one. Cheers!
Yeah I know exactly what you mean, the love he has for his wife is also admirable, as well as being a good person towards others in his life. I had fun with this one for sure in regards to being in the ring. You're most welcome. Cheers!
