My sports

by Tripp   Apr 17, 2006


This came to me as I was outside shooting hoops...not my greatest, and it gets a little choppy at times, but tell me what you think.

Shoot the ball to Tripp, he drives to the hoop
he feints and stops, throws the defenders a loop

fake left, jump right
he soars upward, an eagle in flight

slams it in, an easy basket
and thats it - thats how they win it

The quarterback calls hike
this is the sport I like

I shed the blocker,
force a hole, as simple as opening a locker

lunge up and catch the ball
come down, and resist the urge to fall

as the linebacker rushes at me
I fake one way, and spin on my knee

an open field,
the opponents might as well yield

Nothing's stopping me as I sprint for the end
This is my position : Tight End

The gun is raised, and muscles tense
the shot rings out, and adrenaline pours
through our veins, blood is more dense

Pulling out in front,
this is just like a game
another hunt

The finish line is my prey
and get to it first
I just may

My heart burns, but I have a chance
my chest aches,
like its been run through with a lance

I have to keep running
can't stop,
gotta keep coming

my team mates cheer
and unsurprisingly
the other team leers

at me, as i break across the line
hey, it turns out
that I did just fine

yeah, as you can see I play basketball, football, and track

    Heh. Wow - this poem, if a little shallow, relates to me quite a bit, I have a friend exactly like you - she's very competitive, and it's hard to beat her at basketball - or any track. She's amazing at football too. :)

    Peace. [Sole]

    seem unproportioned. like the second like is too longish.

    youve got some nice lines in here, like the lance bit and dense blood. nice job
