in the pouring rain

living for the adreniline*
washing in and out of my system
for the sunsets in early morning
coloring the sky with magnificent views
flying for the wind on my face
blowing my hair out of my way
running for the sweat pouring off me
the joy of winning everytime
kicking for the strength involved
screaming at the top of my lungs
singing for the voice ringing out
the bright lights murdreously rolling on me
playing for the love of the game
shooting every shot with such precision
calling out for intensity
flushing at the cored watch
living life for the rush
of fullest adventures flying at me
relentlessly falling
right back up
and living for the adreniline* again and again

Sounds like some sort of sport. I used to be the athletic type, I know about adrenaline (this is how you spell it )
I liked the poem. It brought back some memories. Very well done.

Good job on this one I think it would have worked better with a bit of punctuation (MHO), but it's still good and I love the imagry I got Reminded me of sports day at elementary school

I was at the olympic stade, yesterday and it reminded me of the swimming race i was in..the images of lights and the senses add a great deal to the poem.

I agree with Skyfire... this lacks your usual cadence, and I think that punctuation could really perk that up.

Otherwise, a great answer to my question.
