Creator of Poetry In Motion

A short stout figure in the forward line of attack, controlled with skill the darting ball on the green turf. With the magnetic pair of magical legs like a wizard, spearheaded the attacking formation across the field. The opponent defenders had to invent new strategies to foil his rhythmic moves with the ball toward goalpost, he could make lyrical way outwitting all their attempts to see the ball like lightning hit the net behind the bars. The shining star of his country’s illustrious football team, he led from the front to win many major tournaments. A legend in his life time, he was the pride of Argentina, the creator of poetry in motion, he was Maradona. _______________ January 3, 2023 Contest : Poetry In Motion Spinsored by : Matt Caliri

Congrats on 7th place in my contest! I loved the late reveal of Maradona! That really sold it. There were several soccer poems, and others on Maradona, but yours took the cake.
