James is a former sprinter, visually impaired,
Who suffered disappointment at exclusion,
From the 2012 games because he procured,
A grade three hamstring injury of dissociation.
But he keep going until 2015 though distraught,
So he entered the sporting discipline of cycling,
And quickly made it onto a programme wrought,
For world class sports people who are angling.
He’s Welsh, born on 24th June in the year 1991,
And comes from Ponthir but lives in Manchester.
His pilot can be Craig MacLean: in the tandem
Sprint 2016 Worlds he won bronze - a stormer.
Beauty of sounds so majestic
comes as mastering the violin
these ladies have done so
sweet sounds they do bring
Nicola Benedetti plays with class
fulfilling her promise of this decade
Julia Fischer's masterful poeme
engrossing self never to fade
Hilary Hahn such outstanding craftsmanship
brings such a skilful tone
Janine Jansen so exciting a player
so astounding when playing alone
Anne-Sophie Mutter classiest of all
for decades the violin's queen
Vanessa-Mae willing to experiment
a real stormer had to be seen
The violin a beauty so rare
makes one to stand and stare
In my room I hold a turtle lagoon
Though it's dry to the eye and the touch
I avoid their disturbance, they require no survice
Simply, in my room they have a niche
Upon my selves I spy moving turtle shells
Without a turtle inside to see
As miracles they are hidden, by the use of this disguise
To negate the fact that they're free
They perform the former by winding the stormer
and forcing my room to sway
On their backs, I find my nacks
That they travel and lose,
But in my space they stay
Only now is it obvious what my sight obligates
It is my responsability to find and write
But what's curious to me, but expected by we,
is that I'm the only one with this sight
