Skipping

(a group poem by Zak, Lewis, Jack, Jack, Daniel & Craig)

Breathless jumping
Heart pounding
Legs aching
The rope whistles in my ear
Beats the ground
My feet hit the floor
Double bounce
Single bounce
Faster, faster
Legs aching
Breath taking
The silver snake
Glances in the air
Whips my legs
Tangles tight
I stumble and stop
Heart slows.
