Thrill Of The Game Poem by hibiscus flower

The thrill of the game

is a wonderful burst

of excitement 

and ambition

coursing through your veins. 

The sweat on your brow

drips down your sun-burnt skin

as you face the glaring sun,

bright eyes tracking the ball.

The ache in your bones

your muscles

the burning scratch on your knee

from last game,

beats any day

spent scrolling on your phone.

The thrill of the game

is better

than getting a like

on an online post
