 Poem:

THE GAME

 

Here you go,
Everything I have.
I give you my heart,
My sweat, blood, and tears.

I run, jump, dive,
Sacrifice my body, health, and time
Rain or shine,
I’m out there.

I don’t want to be.
But this game,
It’s part of me.

Day after day,
The game beats me down.
Kicking mud in my face
Destroying my confidence

But I refuse to stay down,
To give up, to fail.
No instead I push harder
Run that extra sprint,
Stay that extra twenty minutes.

Knowing that come game time,
I will rise to the top.
I will be the winner.
I will defeat the game.

Deanna DilleySheridan, this is really good. For someone who claims she doesn't like poetry, you definately have talent. And I like that your poem is free verse...not rhyme. A majority of my poems are free verse. I'm a Special Olympics athlete in Ohio, and have written several inspirational sports poems...some about SO...most sports in general. I have three older cousins and their "kid" sister who played soccer. Another cousin started out playing T-ball in preschool and worked her way up to becoming an assitant softball coach at Notre Dame High School in Toledo, OH. No, Kylie was not a student there. Ironically, the two previously mentioned female soccer players did. Anyway good luck in everything you do. Who knows? Maybe you'll find a new love in poetry. :) DeannaUSA4/27/2009 8:37:53 PM

SheridanThanks guys :) Yeah I am definately an athlete. I'm the varsity goalkeeper for our high school team, play Arizona ODP, and for the Hammers. Soccer is a huge aspect of my life. I obviously love this game and wasn't trying to degrade it. I had to write a poem for english and my emotions kind of just spilled on to the paper. I hate poetry :)Usa12/14/2008 11:01:50 AM
