Poetry thing

I really do not like this whole poetry thing, so i mean at least i'm trying right.


Hold it all together
Keep your mind focused
Just one more point
One bounce...Two bounces...Three
Keep your eye on the ball
Just one more point
Make a straight toss
Hit it!
Just one more point
I hope it goes in
Go right by him
Just one more point
Swing and a miss
The point was mine

Umm the poem is all about hitting an ace in tennis, i dunno i had a lack of ideas for this, be kind please.

Awwww man! I wish you didn't tell us at the end what it was about. Let the reader react to the poem before they know the author's real intentions. It's interesting to see how different people's interpretations are.

I like the poem itlself a lot. Was that the winning point? That is always an intense moment...you conveyed that intensity very well.

well okay your poem was horrible... Just kidding i liked it. You just seemed so unsure f it. I think it was a different approach, you wrote about something different that everyone else. good job.

i like it. you talked about something that you know. it is something so normal, but when you really take your time and write about, it sounds so poetic. i liked it, alot.

I totally new what you were talking about! Even so I agree with Katie you could have left it up to the reader - either way, don't doubt it - it is really good!

No you're poem isn't horrible. I with there was something that maybe you put at the end that made us realize it was tennis. Describing the toss, swing, how it brushed the top of the net and barely landed in. Good job overall though.

don't be intimidated by poetry, i can see that you already have the idea, the key here is just to avoid those stereotypical poetry topics and talk about things that are a part of your individual life, that way you effortlessly avoid stereotypes. good job
