Poem 2

So sharing again. This is my 2nd poem in my one class. First is the rough draft, 2nd is the new copy. Henderson Stadium Heat                 Bold black tires go rolling by, piles of them by every car.     I hear the impact gun, then, “Get the slicks on.”     The pavements blurry; intense sun,     suntan lotion is oily and   grease drips right off my skin.                 People start talking smack, once tech check is over,                 cone killers are everywhere; you can’t seem to hit just one.    “I never hit cones; well I only hit one”, two second penalty.     Times adding up; it’s time for the next groups run. My tent comes in handy; it blocks the bright glaring sun, everyone comes in; you breath is all gone; this heat. Orange coolers being opened,   water being guzzled down. Sweat and melting; the heats so intense for this next run. Tail wagging, mouth panting, where did this dog come from? He stayed in my tent, we rehydrate again. T
