I pick my spots when it comes to Hive contests for sure but I love the team that powers @qurator and consider myself an aspiring wordsmith so here we go!

Having had a grammar school teacher as a parent and communicating for a living the last 25+ years, it dawned on me that I may have developed a certain prowess for words. Not until I hit the blockchain to develop and hone my own writing style did I even consider it but what a fun thing to try and be good at. (dangling participles aside)
Only @qurator could inspire such a monumental departure from my brand. Poetry is not something I have tried my hand at in many moons unless it was for the purpose of song writing. Let's see if I still have it....
5 in less than 50
These are the 5 words associated with the contest in which I must poeticize in 50 words or less:
confetti
potato
contortion
sweat
hot
This is what a training session looks like from the sidewalk outside the academy window. What the uninitiated might see is a violent battle, clothes folding while people are still wearing them, or even involuntary yoga.
What I see is people pushing each other, improving themselves and sharing a journey of fitness and progression.
Jiu Jitsu will turn this potato body into a sword
Contortion paired with deadly technique
Sweat will be weakness leaving my body
Hot metal sharpens hot metal
Confetti bursts in my mind with each submission and lesson
I will win or I will learn
