Basketball
Jump ball the referee takes the ball
2 bounces then he throws it up
The ball is hit back to me
I start dribbling down
I let my team get set up
“Iso! Iso!”
I want the ball just me and my defender
I drive then stop
Between the legs and behind the back
I dribble to the opposite block
I see them going to double me
Spin move
“Ankles” Everyone shouts as he falls down
I hear the crowd “Shoot it!”
I take one more dribble and fade away
I jump so high like I’m imitating Kawhi
Swish “And one!”
Jake, the way you structured your poem really felt like the action of the ball game, how the words moved forward with drive and speed. Swish!
Thank you for sharing your writing with us all in the challenge!
