For today's prompt, write a poem about a sport. Pick any sport you want. And yes, feel free to bend and stretch the rules as far as you wish.
Here's my attempt:
"Cross"
In horse racing, there are horses
that prefer a sloppy track--one
covered in mud. My blood always
raced faster when we had a creek
to cross or rain. Something about
the rhythm of my hair against
my face, the heaviness of my
wet shoes and socks--drove me harder.
