He was an All Star Athlete,
A potential Hall of Famer.

Premium Member Klutz

Admittedly, I am a big klutz;
tripping and falling, it drives me nuts.
With my "two left feet",
I am no athlete,
but I'm willing to dance - it takes guts!

With a figure that makes people gape
And success she’ll attain

Haggle Over Being Agile and Fragile

Haggle Over Being Agile and Fragile

What we all  had to do was haggle,
Over knowing Athlete is quite agile;
With much tedium,
Find happy medium,
Along with parts that may be fragile.

Horse

White, black and brown serving our town
An international khiladi and royal animal
A symbol of courage, status and hospitality
An athlete and a good companion for journey
May you live to be a hundred.

Bike Ride

Bike ride,
air through my hair,
sunshine dousing my skin.
Dirt and splashed mud cover wheels.
Sweat drips
heat rises, thigh to palm to cheek.
Music comes from nature,
leaf and rock crunch
below tire.

Short

So many people assume
Short children can’t compete in
Sports, while in
School. It should come as no
Surprise that good talent can come in
Small packages. Let’s get out and
Support all kids regardless of size.

Perfect Body and Safe Soul

If you are already an athlete,
              so you are concerned with your body...
              be a poet too ...!
              Exercise poetry ...
              Not for the body,
              but for the  safe of your soul ...!

ATHLETE
The sun is shining onto our universe of athlete
We are what we do and who we meet
Don't you remember about what is obsolete
Let's burn all of our energy to the last game to compete

Gay Equality

Homophobia will
be over, when "coming out"
is not reported.

[Why do Entertainment mags always have stories when a person, especially an actor or athlete, comes out? Because we are still a long way from it not being gist for the news cycle, I suppose.]

Egg and Spoon

There was once a young athlete called Grace,
    Who was leading the egg and spoon race.
    But her egg had a flaw,
    And it also was raw.
    Now she came last, with egg on her face.

Premium Member planning my next incarnation

if reincarnation exists
and I’m absolutely sure it does
my new body will be flexible and twist
I want height like my tall Cuz

Unsure yet if I’ll choose gal or guy
I want to be an athlete though
Plan on being outgoing shy
no preference, whether Jennifer or Joe

Premium Member Bouquet For You

To gift my bouquet for you,
Pain blew me as the whistle blew;
You, a crying bride, measure my steps,
I, not an athlete, step-up;
I run, pulled by your love,
Reach; thrust my gift, somehow...!

Bishop, fear of the devil
Government, fear of a coup
Soldier, fear of  bullets
Student, fear of failure
Patient, fear of syringe
Sailor, fear of drowning

Scholar, fear of criticism
Criminal, fear of arrest

The Athlete

A brawly guy
A woman sighs
He gives a wink
It makes you think

He goes to the gym
At sports he'll always win
He often dates
And never waits

He goes online
Occasionally has wine
He's captain of the football team
The fans in the stand often scream

Admired by many
Offers are plenty

Something About Me

Chastity is an Athlete
Her favorite things to do are read and write
Attention spands are sometimes high
Speaks english, spanish, and other languages
Talents are poetry,sports,cooking,and singing
Interests are cookng,poetry, and sports
Tells a lot of people about God 
Young,energetic,and fun

''Athlete''

Presence of fused endurance.
 Fueled by your strength.
 The break of sweat brought on by diverse motion.
 Course of steady breathe.
 Elevated throbbing muscles ignite.
 Flaccid no more.
 Stress free tranquil mind.
 Gratification sets on this well deserved athlete.
 As to wait for dawn to wake me another day.

Premium Member Heights Of Strawberry Flight

Freshman high school cheerleader,
long hair the color of the summer berry,
heights of strawberry flight.
Lithe athlete with sky-hued eyes,
smile of a garden fairy.

Teenage enthusiasm,
flier,
storming the sidelines.
Crowd with alumni roaring,
celebratory September night,
heights of strawberry flight.
