In "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,"
I could feel my fingernails digging into his back during that electrifying moment.
It was astounding to witness tears streaming down the face of such a strong man—he truly wept! He sighed deeply, reaching his climax over and over.
Was this a testament to his athleticism or a cry for help beneath his tough exterior?
Philip Kim, aka Phil Wizard
can breakdance with the fury of a blizzard.
Some say the sport of breaking is just a gimmick,
but with its speed and athleticism, it belongs in the Olympics.
Phil Wizard, all things considered,
gave a great performance that really delivered.
His breaking is of the highest level.
Want proof? He's got an Olympic gold medal!
Eating too much food
is never any good
Puts one in a nasty mood
What to do? -- Eat some more food!
That'll solve everything, you'll feel so much better
tho to your refrigerator you'll feel like a debtor
Alternatively, you can take a vow of ascetism
tho it greatly restrict your athleticism
Of course, when all else fails, you can turn to Professor Google
whose algorithm recommends increasing Metamucil
As for me, I'm tearing my hair out
for it seems my appetite will never wear out
Here I am watching modern-day gladiators,
As they compete and look to win.
While various opinions are bantered about,
As to who might be the greatest, by comparison.
This subjective search is ever-changing,
With the ebb and flow of time.
Not to mention some defining ambiguity,
Such as, how is the greatest achieved in the climb?
Some may look to prolonged winning habits,
Whether individual or belonging to a team.
While others, look more to pure, physical talent,
Breaking down skills and athleticism that others dream.
Since there is an aspect of longevity,
Built into the term, as if it's a crime.
Maybe we should modify the acronym's expectation,
And seek only the 'Greatest of A Time'.
After she climaxed, I reached for my pen to jot down the impossible
What was then the improbable transitioned into my truth
In awe of my previous experiences
She lies comfortablely by my hip
Shocked but pleasantly surprised by her athleticism
This was the championship round and she was victorious
Surrealism is my current reality
Twenty two moles on a cricket pitch play bingo when it rains. Single no longer to ascertain whether the verb is used or not. Solve a riddle backwards at all times for this will allow grass formations to be presented evenly. Eerie errors egging elements. And a rusted bat. Oh dear. Peel not an eye. And take no crowd on a barge. Enjoying the sunshine and eating a pan of strawberries and cheese. Lovely. Halftime is interesting isn't it? Over octave opuses originally originate. And that is not noted to be salted. Spin then. *** athleticism Z

Everything in life is a cult, because people of similar interests or other various similarities find each other and worship what they have in common. People sub-categorize themselves. That is what the cult of mankind is all about.
Poetry Soup
It's imagery, movement, rhythm, and rhyme,
Composition of words that baffles the mind;
Art woven meticulously, lines by design,
Pleasing the senses soothes like fine wine.
It's calmness, excitement, free flowing words,
With qualifying beauty like the Peacock bird;
Musical interludes that rises and fall,
Like the waves against an ocean wall.
It’s a hodgepodge of homemade colloquialism,
That challenges our thoughts through aerobic athleticism;
On occasion, darkness sprinkles the pages,
Spoon fed mixture absorbed in small stages.
Poetry Soup, food for the soul,
A deliverance of warmth through written scrolls!

The President leads our country
Trying to create a peaceful society
Celebrities are few but treated like kings
Some act and some sing
Actors and Actresses light up the screen
Displaying themes imagined in dreams
Athletes run, shoot, and pass
Heroes for children
Entertaining the mass
Soldiers at war knocking on death’s door
Do we know what they’re fighting for?
People starve, not just for food
Money, shelter, and non depressed moods
A country consisting of many religions
Entertained by athleticism
Bounded by patriotism
Plagued by racism
Home of the brave,
Land of the free and
Equality are
What liberty and justice mean to me
But on a daily basis that is not what I see
So how come these words
That are memorized and recited by many
Aren’t reality and
Continue to deceive me?
I Say
Learn so you can teach
Love don’t hate is a good cliché to preach
Communicate to motivate
Take control and decide your fate
Always think wise to avoid demise
REVOLUTIONIZE
And soon we’ll realize
Society relies on how hard WE try.
-Stephen Obeng
