Wrestling

by skynerraw   Apr 22, 2007


I walk onto the mat
Put on the green bracelet
Ready for combat
Getting ready to sweat

I shake their hand
And say good luck
Hoping their moves I'll withstand
I know they're sure I suck

Because I'm a girl
Because "A girl cannot be a wrestler"
I'll let their imaginations unfurl
I'll let them think what they were

The ref blows the whistle
I trip him to the mat
Fast as a missile
He's on his back flat

He twists and turns
While I'm in control
My hands getting mat burns
But I don't care, I've got my goal

The ref blows the whistle while
He slams his hand on the mat
At the kid, I give a friendly smile
I don't want to seem like a brat

I offer to help him stand
To help him to his feet
The ref raises my hand
It's the end of the meet

*-Sky-*

This is about a wrestling match...lol

    Im also a wrestler at my school. I made it to Regionals this year and barely missed going to state as a Sophomore. But about the poem...

    There were so many times where the flow was disrupted in the poem, that it made it almost impossible to follow the abcb rhythme.
    For Example:

    #1
    Because I'm a girl
    Because "A girl cannot be a wrestler"
    I'll let their imaginations unfurl
    I'll let them think what they were

    In comparism to

    #2
    I offer to help him stand
    To help him to his feet
    The ref raises my hand
    It's the end of the meet

    You can see the complete difference in the flow of both these stanzas. Stanza #2 flows so perfectly together, where as, stanza #1 breaks up the rhythme and makes it difficult for the reader to constantly read the poem in one fluid motion. If you could make changes to parts of the poem to make it exactly like Stanza #2, i think this poem could be great.

    Like I said.
    Your poems seem forced.
    Maybe you can work on that or something.
    Sorry. I hope you don't take that personally.
    But you're very difinitive.
    You explained a lot.
    Not many people could do that.

    It was okay.
    It wasn't great
    It wasn't bad.
    Just okay.
    Average, I guess.
    Nothing caught my eye.
    If you're going to use because
    It would look a lot better if you spelt it right.
    Lol.
