Hopes and Dreams For The Big Day
(A poem by Roger McGough)
Nervous, but quietly confident
The poem is up at first light.
The big day, after years of dreaming
Has finally arrived. The end is in sight.
It runs, it jumps, it rides, it drives
It rows, it shoots, it collides, it dives
It kicks, it flicks, it cycles, it swerves
It lifts, it throws, it aims, it serves.
It scans, it puzzles, it echoes, it chimes
It struts, it performs, it sings, it rhymes
One more line and the verse is complete
The dreaming is over, now it’s time to compete.
