Court Trial
By Mxxkie
A cloudless Spring day, the sun in full view.
A light breeze that danced through the afros of trees,
Shaking them to and fro.
The singing of birds and buzzing of bees.
Geometric shapes, outlined in white.
Four sides, all enclosed within a caged wall.
A net divided the court in two. On one side,
My partner, on the other side, stood I .
The ball, in an iconic green complexion,
Left my left palm, to the ground, back to my palm;
A stringless yo-yo.
The weeks of training had led to this.
The tips of my shoes halted just before the baseline,
I extended my left hand skywards and with it the ball.
I bent my knees, springing up off my feet, with my right hand
Like a judge with a gavel, I brought down the racket; hitting the ball.
