In the car, I am silent.

When the sign

Comes into view,

I know it's tome to begin a new day.

I stride into the gym

And look for a spot to stretch.

I warm up

A bar routine.

The chalk flies and I smile,

As I stick my double back.

The lonely beams

Seem to be smiling

And saying, "Leap on up!"

On it's back, I warm up my skills

And dance.

I picture myself at the Olympics,

On the first place podium.

My back tuck is up next,

So I flip, and stick it.

I do my routine over

and over again.

But this time I look

Around and try to wonder

What the people in the lobby

Think about our team.

It is time for my turn

On our floor routines.

I sit in my beginning pose.

My music starts, and I am right there with it,

Trying to keep my dance in rhythm

With the music.

To dance gracefully and tumble

forcefully is woth a popsicle

from Mrs. Larissa.

It is time

For my favorite event

Vault.

I sprint aggressively towards the vault

And fly over it.

Soaring, I am like a bird slashing

through the wind.

STUCK!

The crowd goes wild

And I grin.

All to soon it's 7:25 and I stretch

My hamstrings and hip flexors out

so i do not get sore.

I wash my hands and put

My clothes on over my leotard.

In the car, I am silent.

Posted by CELL 2008-05-14 08:58:23 .... K, this needn't have been a poem. Read more like a narrative. It was, to me, in no sense, poetic. Luck. + Report this comment
