Like a Basketball

A poem my student, Asia, wrote with me today :*)
She has these random words, adjectives, adverbs and literary devices and so on that we have to use in this poem :) lol. Let's see how well we did :) after all, we had fun :) Bounce!

Life is basketball.
Love is like the game.
You desperately fight.
You torturously fall.
No one is to blame.

A mammoth blocks your way,
humongous, ferocious.
In the game, you must stay
You're losing. It's obvious,
But you just keep going.

You sprint, slip and slide,
Knowing you might die,
Fear, inside, you hide.
You just have to try,
hold your head up high.

Bang! the ball hits the floor.
Your bold heart starts thumping.
You're not scared anymore.
It really is your choice,
to bounce back, or to fall.

(Like a Basketball...)
