There is nothing better than a team
Working hard at cannon beach
Running up huge mountains
Playing beach and street soccer
Working out on the sandy beach during the nights
Making a life time full of memories
I still have some of the best memories
I could not have asked for a better team
The hard days lead to even harder nights
Being on a huge beach
Where we would play twenty four seven soccer
Surrounded by Rock Mountains
The biggest challenge was running the mountains
But the mountain runs are my best memories
My coach fueled my love for soccer
Even more because he showed us how to be a team
The water workouts at the beach
Made me wish the day would turn into the nights
I loved being able to see all the nights
Surrounded by the most amazing mountains
Camping on the beach
We would tell old memories
Nothing could break us we were a team
Those girls became my family through soccer
I would have never thought that I would have to miss soccer
Then there were the nights
Where we practiced with the team
And everything came crashing down like mountains
All of my hard work was now turned into memories
The beach was just the beach
Nothing could take away the beach
But torn ligament took away soccer
All I had left were memories
And crying nights
Full of angry mountains
That just missed my team
I loved the beach and hated the nights
I would cry for soccer but dread the mountains
Although they were full of memories I climbed them with my team
I really enjoyed this poem. I can definitely relate to all the hard work it takes to play a sport. I played volleyball for a couple of years and it seriously takes a lot of determination and passion. I sometimes would hate running back and forth on the gym floor but now that it is a memory, I really miss the sport and my teammates. It wasnt so bad when you knew that the hardwork was a team effort.
ReplyDeleteThe "deepest" of the repeated words is your use of "mountains." You really manage to get a lot of tone and feeling out of all the variations. Sometimes it is an obstacle. Other times it seems a reflection of your frustration. Good job :)
