Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.
Skills thrills goosebumps and chills
These guys can hit, run, score points.
Jump hurdles, too; some of them will.
All that we admire even aspire to do.

Short the ‘g
How do you relax?
There's a song for almost any phrase
As it pops into my head. As it arises
With elipses, colloquial inaccuracies
Hum along with my thoughts, every
Endin' short one g, feels picturesque
Maybe it's picaresque. Maybe I'm not
Sharp 'cause I am tired. Tired 'cause
I need to relax. Listen to the song and
"Takin' it easy." Ending short a g, wiz!
Fine
How are you feeling right now?
When asked about my health, I utter
A terse response, not begrudgingly or
Out of reticence. I'm really not shy, nor
Secretive. I tend to be open, forthright
Candid and frank. Ready with a bright
Quip or a silky retort. No essays, just a
Check mark next to good, well, fine, Ok
Poems
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
I am hungry for self-expression
I want to make a good impression
I want to share thoughts, ideas
A poem is not the only panacea
Eager am I to write you a poem
My words must resonate rhythm
What I see is up to me
How I do that's up to you
How long ago?
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
Need something? Here's where to
Get that information (make it so
Smooth, you sound like Peter Lorre)
Who's Peter Lorre? Search, you'll see.
Giddy
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.
Ups and downs and sometimes sidewise
I bet you are so excited you can't walk a
Straight line. The narrow is hard to hold
For those of us giddy with excitement. I
Can hardly contain myself. I feel I needn't
Though maybe I should. Is it unseemly to
Show so much emotion. My cup, it runs
Over, if I may part with the cliche. Too
Much. Just enough. Oh it's perfect I bet.
Get this
What motivates you?
Sunshine in the morning
It's my early warning
This day's gonna be good
Nice days fuel a mood
Saltier weather is rough
For starters, it's tough
Getting a start, that is, hard
Put down your guard
It'll rain, it'll pour. You want
Sunshine to taunt you
It's your early warning that
This day is gonna be great
Love lives here
What do you love about where you live?
My home? A castle indeed,
Our home! Me, the queen,
And you, the king. We love,
We live. We, like turtle doves,
Enjoy each other. It's what
We see and do and say, not
Where we are. Though that is
Perfect, too. Perfect for us.
Plans
How do you plan your goals?
Serendipity plays havoc with any
Simple plan to attain any simple
Or any complex goal. It's an ample
Example. Random choices, many
Take you to places unexpectedly
Splendid. Meeting and exceeding
Your goal. Who knew, collectively,
That accidentally you'd be beating
Bigger plans and getting what you
Want, what you need, deserve. Do.
My wares
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
My wares, where? I carry them
On my cart and my back. I want
To open my shop. Envious, I am
Of Oram and Jonah, who taunt
Me with their square footage in
The new bazaar in Bahram Arag.
Their success is so marvelous in
Oh, so many ways but me, I gag.
Jealousy is green like bile, much
Like poison, it's hard to swallow,
Take it as you would a pill, crush
It and hold back your envy. Allow
No thoughts, call out, your voice
Ringing the sale of your wares.
You can brag that they're choice.
Peddling's an art as you're aware.
I carry my wares on my cart and
My back. I'm a peddler excellant.
Tamara, really
