3WW- grace, thin, jittery
For the Love of Sports (A cascade poem)
Grace never wanted to settle down
She much preferred a myriad of men
Spontaneity fueled her lustful desires
Striking: in with looks, out with luck
A playing field, she beat thin scores
Grace never wanted to settle down
Photo trophies saved on hard drives
All the conquests mere victories
She much preferred a myriad of men
The prime of her life, a star athlete
Grace welcomed jitters as basic warm-ups
Spontaneity fueled her lustful desires

'in with looks, out with luck' wonderful line..who have to wonder if those pictures will keep Grace happy for long..Jae
Excellent words, and I agree with the above - a great line.
Like Jae, I really like the striking line. Clever write, Laurie.
Yeah, I like the way this stacks up from the bottom - repeating the end line of the first stanza.
Nicely done. I like the repetition, "Grace never wanted to settle down". I wonder if she's trying to convince herself of that the older she gets? Great work.
Sheilagh lee said looks don't last substance does let's hope she has some of that. great poem.
Cleverly written - very good!
Great cascade form. Interesting thought, too. I hope Grace has a plan for loneliness later in life.
