basketball
I am running up the court
Dribbling
Up and down
Up and down
Up and down
Look to my left to pass
Denied
Look to my right
Denied
Now I have take things into my own hands
A couple dribbles and big steps I drive to the hole
Everyone closes in on me-
I cant get a shot
I kick it out to my teammate on the perimeter
He puts up the shot-
Wet like water
The crowd goes wild
We hustle back on defense
I’m locked up on the guy
He tries to drive in on me
I beat him to the spot
He jumps up for a shot
The ball is floating through the air-
I jump up to swat it away
A loud thud as the ball goes straight to the ground
The crowd goes wild
My teammate grabs the rebound
Quick passes it to me
I take a quick look at the scoreboard-
Tie game
4 seconds left
I sprint to the other side of the court
3 seconds
Quick pass to my friend in the coner
2 seconds
He cant get a shot off
1 second
He passes it back and I do a quick fadaway
I fall to the ground staring up at the ball
The ball flying to the rim almost in slow motion
The loud buzzer ringing my ears
Then I hear the sploosh of the net
My teammates rush over to me to celebrate
The crowd goes wild
Game over

i wrote my first decent poem
