Fast Ran the Athlete

 By: Niki Isaac

Inspired by Fast rode the knight by :Stephen Crane

ran the athlete

With sneakers hot and sweaty

Ever flashing his winning smile

“To save my title”

Fast ran the athlete

And leaped from the ground to hurtle

Men of sweat gleamed and shone  

Like a race between life or death

And the dream of a new gold medal

Still bounced on the walls of their head

……

A medal,

Golden, aspirational, grand thing,

Forgotten underneath the bench.

A medal,

Chipped underneath the bench

Poem/First Post

                      This is my first post. I personally do not want to use a poem as my first post, but I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone by both handing my poem in and publishing my first post.

Niki

Who is completely and utterly obsessed with Mark Wahlberg

Who is sister to a crazy little native and a guy who is military crazed

Who loves to play guitar and listen to My Chemical Romance

Who feels depressed, undisciplined and uncomfortable when she skips boxing

Who needs good songs to last longer, people to mumble much less and coffee to be stronger

Who gives inside jokes to good friends, twisted comments to odd topics and

 help to people in need

Who fears spiders, saws and flies

Who shares fond memories packed with nostalgia 

Who is a good Friend

Who is a resident of Red Deer
