National Poetry Month: Sports Hero Tiger Woods
A Darkened Ship
"Hello, world," says the young black-skinned man
As he strides onto the gaping green...
A darkened ship among waters of white
Must push to stay afloat
Defending his victory with nine-iron sword,
He breaks into the landscape
Firing orbs into his rivals' faces
With the quiet unwavering
Tiger, they call him, stalking his prey
To the course he moves upon;
The numbers lay low, as he seeks the next
Hole that sits silent in wait
With his muscles now flexed
And his grip filled with force
He unleashes his bullet-like swing
And the ball flies skyward
To meet with its end
As the Tiger's victorious again.
