Canoeing

So common in a hometown with rivers and large waters; casually learned like a daily habit until it becomes a source of income to the family and individually. Very unpopular in dry regions were athletics is the next best sporting event for all. Canoeing is like a hobby and not a sport with the water brushing past the face, the air as clean as heaven and the purpose as real as life. Canoeing has given many, particularly rural or country dwellers the opportunity to become famous through the sports.

Poem for the Day - Today

So much awaited

Verdict will be passed

Past sins revealed

So much awaited

And the day is here

It is called today

Never to be forgotten

Soccer

Soccer had always been his life, a secret life he loved to be in, a world he lived where happiness was the only theme that existed there. But soon enough, his dreams, his world, his happiness was shattered with the turning around of the world. There were no promotions and gradually, life deviated to a whole new different career. But soccer would never be forgotten to him. As faithful as a Priest to a sinner, so he stayed faithful to soccer, closely watching, analyzing, imagining and hoping one day, someday, the world would turn back to rescue him from the unhappiness it had put him into.
Soccer did not mean advertisements, money or fame to him; it meant a world of contentment and happiness, doing what he really loved and would love him in return. Soccer was a big dream he hoped someday would achieve if not in this life time, in another to come; a promise to himself-all for the love of soccer.

Poem for the Day - Wait

Remembering his words
Wait, Wait, Wait
Learning to wait
So difficult his words

Wait did I
For days and years
I waited with a sigh
Until wait turned to tears

Still I wait
And wait and wait
Not for love of him
But to dump him

Wrestling

Wrestling had never been something thought to be a part of life; it was rough, tough and sweaty. The sports had always had a great toll on them, but the money was good, the strength existed and the purpose was legit. All they needed was a conviction of the sports. Wrestlers were admired, placed high, honored and here they were wondering, having doubts. For once in their life time they would be honored like the others; they practiced, lived on strict diets. It was worth the sacrifice, it is always worth the sacrifice. Determination, devotion on what you believe in and the zeal to succeed; a whole big package that can make everyone become a success someday.

Poem for the Day - Talk

Day he decided to talk
All shivered
Fear to talk
Made him wither
Damage caused
But he decided to talk

Basketball

Who would have known the sport would take him to his promised land; making his dreams come true?
It was never his fault, it was his society who believed in progress through education alone, thinking progress with sports was for the desperate. But the desperate ones were the people of the society who were educated illiterates.; their thoughts were within a box. They snorted at the thought of the promising young lad in basketball. Basketball was his life and he succeeded at it. He raised his family being a professional at it, helped his society from his earnings and produced great men through sponsors from it. Though he loved the sport as much as anyone loved a hobby, he was determined to succeed with the discrimination that surrounded his dreams.
