[hometext] => He tries to impress the crowd
[bodytext] => He waves his hands to the crowd They hush and begin to watch They wonder if he'll fall They antisipate his failure He tries to balance and calm his mind He hushes his clouded thoughts Carefully observing the rope Deeply he breathes to catch his breath Only to exhale the fear The crowd excited for the worst He takes his first step The net is pulled down Nervousness disappears A child in the crowd smiles The training is forgotten He begins to fall The crowd screams in horror He grabs the rope and holds on His life flashes in his eyes Alone on the rope the expectations for failure He's accepting he may not make it out alive His dreams fall as he crashes to the floor The crowd screams with delight It is better to watch the fall rather than be it He stands strong as he recovers the slip The crowd cheers the thoughts erase This is his time he can make it Alone he may be, making it to the other side A calm rushes over him the applause in the room He is a star as he desends the ladder [comments] => 2 [counter] => 222 [topic] => 48 [informant] => mrmatt [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
