James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Perfect 10

Nadia Comaneci 
Gymnastic Queen
Olympic starlet
Romania's dream
 
Montreal summer
As this young girl bloomed
Three Gold Medals
Young boys swooned
 
Moscow 1980
Another two Golds won
For this Romanian girl
The darling one
 
America bound via Montreal
This young gymnast stool so tall
Her dance routines, amazing and hip
From her somersaults, to her back flips
 
She was one of my idols
When i was in my teens
Her Perfect 10
Has to be seen
 
" Dedicated to Nadia Comaneci "

Yoni Dvorkis May 25, 2009 at 8:39 PM Lovely tribute. Gives me nostalgia for the days when I still had heroes, truly clean ones completely free of all cynicism. This carries that innocence and charm splendidly.
