Olympic Dreams
As a seventeen year old competitive swimmer,
the other swimmer I looked up to was Mark Spitz,
he was a multiple gold medal winner,
a wonder in the water, a swimming blitz.
I had Olympic dreams,
my element was the aquatic,
but life took me in another direction, it seemed,
the lure of going to practices seemed less exotic.
How I loved the

Let The Olympic Games Begin
Let's all celebrate
Motivate and innovate
Let's all have incredible fun
The one that will last more than a lifetime
Every four years, it is that time
Again and again, let's us sprint, jump, run
Like happy rabbits, like flying cheetahs
Let's us enjoy all sports and the hoopla
Let's witness and win the gold medals
Many records will be broken
It is about doing

Olympic Games
The understanding race
Much competition to face
The disappointing loss
Frustrations tou must toss
The skaters dance
The underdogs chance
The pressure of perfection
The judge's selection
The winner's adulation
Stands for a nation
The cheering crowd
Grows ever loud
A skiers mistake
Acceptance one has to make
The pair skates
The hand shakes
How beautiful they glide
How nervous inside

Celebrating Glory of the Ancient Olympic Games
Celebrating Glory Of The Ancient Olympic Games
Gifted verse from copper-clad rays of sunshine's gleaming mirth
Odes from an era, men competed measuring their worth
Olympic contests, arenas full of cheering faces
fame and glory given winners of marathon races
prowess of those Greek athletes brave, strong and so very bold
winners's adulation, worth far more than their weight in gold!

The Olympic Games
How lucky I, to have the time
To watch Olympics all the day.
I have not written one small rhyme
For fear I’ll miss some of the play.
To watch Olympics all the day
Means I don’t get my housework done
For fear I’ll miss some of the play.
In Rio town its rain or sun.
I don’t get my housework done
My favorite

Olympic Games
The Olympics is where the worlds best,
athletes get together,
for the ultimate test.
Sixteen days, where young and old,
watch the contestants striving,
to gain a medal of gold.
All races, colours, and creeds, together as one,
forgetting all national differences,
by participating, and having fun.
~Tango~
