Basketball

Hey there! It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve posted, doesn’t it? It looks like the WordPress app on my phone hasn’t actually been posting the things I’ve been trying to post for the past few weeks. So, be prepared for a stream of new (um… old) posts!

This poem is from a basketball tournament I attended two weeks ago, but it still applies.

Sweat drips down my neck

I inhale deeply, my eyes forward

My feet and sides ache

My legs feel like jelly

But for a moment

As the girl bounces the ball at the free throw line

I appreciate the beauty

Of the sport I call my own

I’m so lucky to play

This vibrant, energetic, exhausting, exhilarating game

Called basketball
