At my school we're organising this activity for the Olympic Games and it's called Olympic Week. My English teacher wants us to write a poem in connection with the Olympics. I've written one about Ice Skating, although I haven't found a name for it yet(suggestions mostly appreciated! thanks) and well here it is:
A sweet jingle, a graceful glide,
and it seems they’re free
of all the problems in this world.
She gently clasps the hand of thee,
twirls around
now one, two, three.
It seems she’s fair young Juliet,
a perfect bride to be,
flying on the bluish ice,
rushing straight to see
if young Romeo is there,
looking down from the tree.
There is no doubt,
they are less than light,
they circle-glide about
with dazzling delight.
A tender swan.
It seems she’s taken flight
like a snowy dove
in the dark of the night.
In his arms she rests
with not a fight.
It’s such a wonderful
and splendid sight.
As the song slowly did end,
the two embraced,
the judges did send,
high marks the couple faced.
So what do you guys think?
