Raining

Raining.Raining is like archers shooting down wet droplets that freeze you to the bone.When I step into a puddle those metal arrowheads pierce into my flesh.I open my umbrella; it rips through the arrows like a shield.I see a storm cloud, I take my position,I am ready for battle.

Overtime

It’s overtime at the hockey arena Pitted head to head in a pivotal game My heart is racing It’s 3 on 3 Suddenly I am struck by worry like a lightning bolt My stomach sinks like the Titanic Thoughts of two scenarios are swirling and spinning around in my head It’s making me dizzy The puck is dropped and the players dig in with their sticks My heart dances when my team gets a breakaway and scores I jump on my seat like a monkey I feel like shouting from the rooftops of a 100 story building Instead, I settle … Continue reading Overtime

Stars
