a poem :D

For some reason, I've been writing a lot of poetry lately. I'm not entirely sure why. But here is another poem. It's about flying, sort of. And jumping over those really big kicking pads like we did in tae kwon do yesterday. So here it is.

Ever since I was seven
I’ve known how to fly
I couldn’t go far then
I could barely clear the bottom of the target

Now I can fly farther
Faster
Longer

I am a white-clad bird
With a black stripe at my waist

The gap widens.

I sprint
One
Two
Three
Four
Five

On the sixth step, I launch
And for a moment
I am a bird
Four feet above the ground, I soar

My foot slaps through a board;
My momentum carries me to the wall.

I fly again.
