An ongoing series of my poems intended to show support for the Beacon community. Each poem is inspired by a Beacon Main Street business or service.


Your participation is invited! - - If you wish to collaborate, please send original artwork, photos, music, and other content by both adults and children to larrysansone@gmail.com. I will post these submissions here, along with the poems.
Pugilists
 (Inspired by Max's On Main   - Max's Story)

Brothers who fight the good fight,
Who battle life's beatings by song and soft lights,
We combat with kinship and memorable nights,
The woes of the corners to which we belong. 

Strategy, talent and might,
We go round for round with the world's appetites,
And punch-drunk with love we restore paradise.
Each jovial jab, granting strength to push on. 

Quick on our feet, we are spry,
We are bruised, we are bloodied, yet holding the prize,
Knocked down for the count when we first had arrived,
we leave here as champions, standing and strong.
