Track Athlete Poem

I am a track athlete
At great speeds I run,
I have to eat
Healthy
Although it is not very fun

I am not that fast
Other people blast
by me
I've started to like sweet tea
I am slow
But I never say no

    I really like the rhyme in the poem it really helped it flow. I also like how the poem is about track because track is a interesting topic.

    The rhyme in this poem was superb, and your caesura as well. I am confused on what sweat tea had to do with track though.

    Great post! I enjoy how you use something that you enjoy, track and incorporate it into your poem. The rhyme in the poem was very good, your use of enjambment causes exaggeration on certain phrases.

     This Saturday was very eventful. On Saturday, I had to wake up early to go to football. Football was not fun sense the coaches were mad that we lost the game. After football I went home and accidentally fell asleep for a while. When I woke up there were many texts saying come to Dylan's, so I went to Dylan's. We watched the LSU vs Alabama game, and swam. When I jumped into Dylan's pool I went so high I flailed my arms, and hit the water.      After we got out of the pool we were all sitting outside, and watching the LSU football game. It was a good game on both sides of the ball. Although, LSU lost they still played good. When I was getting up to go to the bathroom outside of Dylan's I accidentally bumped into a table , and broke it. Dylan was not happy, and made me clean up the mess. I had a interesting Saturday.

It was a rainy summer night. Tommy just accidentally stepped in a puddle on his way in to his house. He hurried in to clean off his shoes. He had never gotten them dirty, wet, or ripped. Even though he's been through so many things in his life time they still fit from when his grandfather gave them to him when he was 12 years old.      He had been through deaths, bad grades, punishments, wars, and many storms. His mom walked and asked him "Tommy why in the world do you still care for those shoes? They are so old." Tommy replied "Mom you know papa gave these to me right before he passed, I want to keep these as good as new." Tommy's mom answered with "Oh yeah I'm sorry baby I forgot, that is very sentimental of you to care for them still." Tommy said "it's ok i just know papa is always watching me and taking care of me so I'm always gonna take care of him." Tommy could not be more grateful for these shoes.      In this story...

     My Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. I went to Vicksburg, Mississippi to see my Mom's side of the family. At first I did not want to go, but I'm glad I did. It was a really fun time. I have 2 little cousins, 7 and 4 years old, they sound like a pain, but are really fun to play and hang out with. My family are big Mississippi State fans, so we watched the football game of them playing Ole Miss. Although the lost, it was still a goo game.      There was so much food on the tables, I had no clue where to start. There is always one dish that only one person likes, and I was that one person in my family. I got cranberry sauce on my turkey, and my whole family was looking at me like i was crazy. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
