Happy Poems writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Think about happiness and write a happy poem. It can be any style, free verse or rhyme. |
Inspired by the Paris Olympics and Noah Lyles 100 metre victory.
I was a keen 100 metre runner in my late teens and early twenties.
County standard, never quite made it to National level. But some of the races I won created the most amazing euphoria I have ever experienced.
Those of you old enough to remember the 1968 Mexico Olympics may recognise Tommie Smith the 100 metres Gold medal winner giving his courageous and controversial *black panther* salute.
