DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA

                                    Diego Armando Maradona :
                                     Dashy pushy rustic persona.
                                     Small structure caught in five feet five frame
                                     Sunny player in fabulous fame.

                          Promising skill on challenge of arrogance .
                           Strong sturdy solid sense to keep balance.
                                       Tangled disarranged hair.
                                       Careful, yet without care.
                         Excitement to enhance but not perchance.

                        Bullish,  buoyant, graceful with eyes angelic.
                        Not polite, over confident, strategic.
                        Impatient cocky, the stocky number Ten
                        to sky ball on loops of eyes reaching heaven.

Anisha, this is indeed so beautifully done. I really enjoyed reading it.' Dashy, pushy', 'bullish, buoyant'- the epithets used to refer to Maradona are so apt.

Anisha, I didn’t know you were a soccer fan :) You certainly chose one of the greatest of all time, Maradona. Congratulations on receiving Honorable Mention.
