Backwards walkover

Backwards Walkover

For writing we had to write a poem about a moment in sport that only took 10 seconds. We got asked to include strong verbs, only use necessary words, start each new action with a capital letter and on a new line.

Damp green grass,

Leaf carpet surrounding me,

Arms stretched up to the sky,

Pushing against my ears,

Tall,

Arched,

Stretched back,

Focus,

Concentrate,

Find my balance

Toes pointed

Balanced,

Stretched,

Hands touching the ground,

Kicking over,

Pushing off,

Feet leaving the ground,

Hesitating,

Leaning,

Slowly,

Steadily,

And then

                            And then

Landing with a pounce,

Bounce,

Spring.
