They watched her try.
They watched her fail.
They watched her rise.
They watched her try.
They watched her win.

They snorted.

For they
Wished her to lose.

She smiled at them
Because she could.

Eat your hearts out! I can see the pose upon winning hand on hip, lots of attitude, and the back and forth flip of the arm and a snap of the finger! lol

Don't know what tent means. I'm going to bed anyway.

awww...dream sweet.

"tent" was just my best estimate for the center of "attention".

I enjoyed the poem, Jer. I was just trying to get you to smile.

Ah, you are nice to compare my little poem to Lady Gaga's performance, kingsangel. Yeah, I can see where the common ground could be. Thanks again.
