Morning Visit


Mounds of deep dark soil 

sits atop green grassy hill

pile reveals a tunnel

Dirt flies out of hole

In the coolness

Fantastic little gopher

Tribute to Summer Olympics


Jumps

Flips

Races

   in water

Dives

Volleys

Surfing 

   in ocean

   on ramps

Basketball

Baseball

Displays

   of strength

Badminton

Tennis

Sports  

   at length

Olympians

   practice

   fantastic forms

Competitors 

  contend

  in sudden storms

Entrants

compete

  for bronze

   silver

   gold

Contenders

  speak out

   with words

  that are bold
