Sports

You are a black and white football waiting to be kicked.

You are an athlete in the Olympics, running for your life.

You are a basketball player, dribbling the ball through the court.

You are a fighter, punching your way to glory.

You are a tennis player, waiting for the ball to arrive.

You are an ice skater, swiftly gliding across the ice.

The elephant

The big lonely elephant

stomped across  the plain.

Its skin hard and tough like leather,

with wrinkly lines

looking like an unmade bed.

The elephant’s gigantic ears flipping

like a flag in a force gale wind.

The trunk twisting and spraying water like a hose.

Terrifying tusks twist and turn towards the top of the tall trees.

Its sad looking eyes, glistening in the shimmering sunlight.
