i no  it's hard to read so....


The sweat drips down my face to the ground below
I look up  flexing my body
My back screams as I stretch back
Exploding forward in a fury
Both feet off the ground
Right first followed by the left

As I land I'm possessed ready
The ball scorches the line
Some how I find a return
Dashing towards the backline
Leaping into the air
Twisting torque to the right
Spinning me and the ball

Dashing back to the center in preparation
Facing the left the ball launched
Chasing the left line in anticipation
Scrapping the racquet on the ground
Chipping the return over the service box

Blazing towards the net
The returned chipped back over the net
Post bounce I return
Only to find a waiting opponent
Tipping a return over my head

Stepping back I bounce a return
Return sliced at my feet
I nearly fall but I return
Recklessly  I receive a high return
I line up and energize
My muscles Flex
And an explosion

The ball flying off my racquet
Bouncing inches from his feet
Then I YELL
As loud as I can
My muscles flex
And I leap into the air celebrating
The victory of my best point ever

If you knew it was hard to read, why did you post it anyway? Besides, our purpose here is to analyze poetry, not graphics.

Along those lines, it may have been a singular moment for you but I can't find much of poetic value in it. Sorry but I don't have any constructive suggestions.

Hello M666, I have to repeat what seems to be the overall message...the type is almost impossible to read, and to know that, but post anyway seems a bit silly.

I love pictures, and I love words, but as this is a poetry site, the words are supposed to describe the picture, without having to resort back to the visual that prompted the words (eek, I hope that makes sense).

I'm trying to think of what's going on here...you're telling with your words, and showing with your pictures...I believe it would work better the other way around.

That being said, you do have a kind of rhythm, but this piece especially has no poetic merit...it could almost be a commentary, but nothing more.
