Poem Artwork



Eyes of the world on them
I’m on the edge with
Anticipation-
Holding my breath-
My heart pounding-
Scared-
Ooop-sing and gasping
When they falter-
No matter who they are
I cheer for them all-
They are someone’s sons
And daughters and it
Just overwhelms me

There's an out of breath-i-ness to this poem that fully captures the anticipation and the excitement of watching the olympics... just imagine being there in Athens... but hey... come 2012, they may be right here in our good ol' NYC! Imagine that! :)
