Fishy shining bright
You are silver in the sun.
Eyes sprint after you....

I run, sprint, I jump,
They chase, there're catching up,
Keeps going, then black....

I stand back up and prepare to sprint on
I rested for far too long
Now I don't feel worthy...

Breathe, breath, breathing, stitch, stumble
On your marks...and stop....

sprint to the finish 
     the good times are the fastest

             born to burn rubber

What is fast?
Hurry,

Run,
Sprint,
Can't be late..
Late for date,
Call,
Panic,
Gasp,
Trip,
SPLAT!!!

Tar burnt soles and toes
sprint to the shade of the palm
Coconut brown skin
begs the clear sky for solace
but the sea ate all the clouds......

Cat
Stares at
The floor then
Smacks at the air
Jump, sprint poofy tail
Repeats process
Clearly she
Is so 
Bored!...

I really love to sprint,  
my favorite is the relays,
Handing the baton off one by one, 
To the finish line I come. 
Sprinting is what I love....

There's really
no rigid race.

To each his time, 
to each his pace.

You sprint your way, 
I crawl mine.

In Life there's actually 
no finish line!...

Listen to poem:

It's easy to find those who'll sprint,
To the end, with a heroic gleam,
But to run the long race,
With a steady, patient pace,
Is a rarer and more noble dream....

I have webbed feet 
And everyone knows
Flip flops don’t fit
When you have no toes
I can dance, I can jump
I can run, I can sprint
I can even leave my own web print!...

One hundred-year-old Jimmy Carter
Loved nature and in Georgia Conservancy a charter (member)
He vetoed the damn for the Flint
Some people's dreams left at a sprint...

Jacqueline was trim and lean never ran out of steam 
she ran and ran and never tired now isn't that a dream 
she did a sprint 
and won some mints  
Lifesaver ones, for her and her victorious team....

Used to take a while
  to work up a sweat
Had to jog a few miles
  or sprint like a jet…

Well, those days disappeared
  in the rear-view mirror
Now I sweat climbing stairs
  that I’m older is clearer...

God 
was with the squirrel,
made it a golden path 
the perfect zig and zag,
a whisper to stop-
a whisper to go-
a shout to sprint- 
for the glory hole-

God 
was with the squirrel,
but forgot about the coon-...

    Pumping iron, jumping rope
      don’t agree with me
    mainly because 
      I’ve two problem knees

    But 16-ounce curls
      with a cold can of beer
    move me to sprint ~
      to any restroom that’s near

The first step
In tiptoes
But the one I wanted to take.
The take-off.
 
The sprint
In circles
A mile then came back.
The lead.

I ran
So did you
Further away.
The catch up.

Each step
Nearer to the finish line
Moving on.
The race....

Bounce, Scream, silence run
raise money for having fun
Sing hop sprint and shout
show Africa what we care about

Bounce for 6 hours or run a mile
make money to see children smile
sell cakes and dye your hair
let the world know we really care!...

If I could fly like my hero Peter Pan,
I would be gone for sure.
If I could walk like a runway model,
I would step around the manure.

If I could quarterback like Mahomes 
I would play ball day and night in the sun.
If I could sprint like Bolt, 
I would do nothing but run....

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”

Ice Cream lyrics by Howard Johnson 1927

LICKETY-SPLIT

pied piper’s sprint
in a child’s cul-de-sac
dishy melody
little legs come running forth
taking their licks in no time

Yesterday, big bites
Time flog the sweat to attempt
Killing lullaby

Today, chased the waves
Sprint lost towards to the sea
Swam and freely dove

Tomorrow, treasures
The time penned another page
Get ready to serve

how quickly the days of our lives
scamper in their haste
racing in a sprint to scurry
across illusive finish lines

 Think On This 2
Tom Wright
9/3/2010

Life is a marathon & death its finish line.
In our youth, we sprint away from youthful indiscretions.
But youthful indiscretions,
become memories, that are long distance runners.
They always seem to be right there at the finish.
