A Serene Tribute
A savage seraph, graceful lioness,
A mortal goddess winning reverence,
A blazing focus, freezing fierce finesse,
A mixture whole: incarnate temperance.
She routs her drought by catching twenty-two,
She courts desire, her record nets acclaim,
She triumphs such, her glories shall ensue,
She grips her lauds unfree from slander’s shame.
The queen of tennis double bagels foes,
She aces breaking points while serving face;
A stirring game, set, match through racket throes,
Her haters’ faults lay long and wide, misplaced.
She’s Nike’s victress, God’s bellissima,
She’s crowned Regina Serenissima.
