I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

The marvelous basketball
Delicately soaring through the air
Rapidly traversing up and down the court
Million of shots take everyday
Felt upon by the dangling string
Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!
Amazing qualities of the structure
Tickling the twine with that astonishing ball
Touching that globular ball is like a dream
Rubbing my hand on its corrugate surface
Nothing can compare to that pigskin
Trillions of times that circular object thrusts the ground
Backfiring up and down
Enthralling with the orbical object
The ball yelled swwwiiisshhh when it went through the net
Trickles of perspery upon it
Intimidating the opponent with that one bounce
Expeditiously traveling through the legs of the king
Traveling down the court from end to end in three seconds
Unwillingly thrown to perform perfection

Basketball inspired me to write this poem. The thought of the game, brought these lines to my head. My love of the game gave me the inspiration to write this.
