Athletics day poetry

I could feel my heart racing.

I saw people getting ready.

I could taste sweat.

I could feel the grass on my feet.

I heard people cheering.

On your marks

get set... GO!

Athletics Poem

Shot-put bangs

shaking the ground

Discus flying 

falling

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Smiling cheering children

Go! Go! Go!

Speeding feet

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

On Your Marks!

On your marks, get set, go!!!

People screaming as loud as a tornado.

Sweat pouring down into my mouth.

Ice block soothing.

Heart pounding with butterflies.

Kids playing like daffodils in the wind.

Shot-put landing, thump, thump!

Blossoms blowing

Streaming blood

Heart racing

Stomping past

Athletics

shot-put vibrations

legs aching

people sprinting around me

blossom petals twirling off trees

smell victory

ice-block dripping down my mouth

sad athletics day is over

Athletics Day
by Ella S

Breezy wind
hot sun in my eyes
people cheering happily

Mr Ish announced the winner
for shot put 
ME!

My heart was beating
like a crazy washing machine

The delicious taste of iceblocks
Fast relay team
like a t-rex stomping

I smell sand
Achoo!
Sand blowing everywhere

People sprinting
and 
jumping
