VENUS AT THE NET
Look at the nerve of her!
The mettle,
The fettle -
The pluck - magisterial verve of her.
The craft of her!
The running,
The cunning
Sleight of the wrist on the haft of her.
The pounce of her!
The stoop,
The scoop -
The return of the ball off the bounce of her.
The surpass of her!
The clip,
The chip -
The crunch of the foot on the grass of her.
The intent on the face of her!
The spring
The swing -
The power of the thwack of the ace of her.
How bold she is!
Glorious,
Victorious -
How worthy of gold she is.

Thanks all for being so kind.
Isobel,
Thanks for the tip, but it`s okay if I`ve left it too late...It`s actually the first part of poem I`m hoping to complete on a different ending theme and which (If I can finish the bloody thing!) I hope to blog later..I posted it in desperation at not doing an Olympic one.
Thanks anyway
