SOL#& May 8th - Ultimate Anticipation

A poem in honor of another great Ultimate season. Thanks for all the great season those who played and have played over the years.

A jab step
A sprint
White disc zipping
From hand to hand,
Player to player.

Cleats dig into turf,
Roots tear during pivot, 
Another zip of the Frisbee
Fingertips snag on the rim
A stumble,
A catch!


Purple streak towards the end zone
Open!
Coiled thrower
Full of potential,
Muscles stretch...andthencontract
Whipping the disc ahead.


White floats against blue sky
Excited cheers drowned out by the heartbeat
Of the runner,
Sprinting to catch up to the disc 
As it spins closer, and closer,
To green grass...

  1. This perfectly sums up playing ultimate. I like how you end on a cliffhanger after the entire post builds up to scoring the point. Nice slice!
