This poem, The Runners, has the required words and lauds the winning nature of the runners here, as well as the newest star -- Fleet of Feet Pete.

Thank you, Bill, for praising my poem and Pete?s new moniker.
Comment from artisart4u
Your poem is nice and the picture fits right in. You have the words that were required.
It is rhyming and I like the font, especially how you made the words that you had to use, bold.
Good luck in the contest.

Hi Gypsy. Many thanks for sharing THE RUNNERS and your kind praise. Yes, there is such a thing as runner's high and I have experienced it. When I was much younger I used to enjoy running for miles and, being in the best shape of my life, I would run at a pace that gave me such a high.

As a former cross-country runner during my high-school years, I could relate with what was expressed here. I like the part of the sensation of burning in the legs. It brings back memories. The thoughts and emotions here says everything about the competition and what the participants feel. Well done

Thank you so much for your comments on my poem. I?m pleased you found my description of Pete?s burning legs an accurate portrayal of a runner?s agony. I coached a high school cross-country team way back when.
Comment from Y. M. Roger
Love the original focus of this one - great personalization to include a name/class! ;) ;) I would only say that your last stanza does not fit your pattern of abcb established in the first two, and it just 'drops' at the end... perhaps try:
He finished first with world class tread.
So glad Pete won! ;) Best of luck at the polls! ;)

Thank you so much for your heads-up, Yvette. I don?t know what I was thinking when I wrote that last stanza. Probably half awake. So glad you liked the content though.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
You painted a fine scene of runners here in this long distance race to the finish line, a well rhymed poem fulfilling the brief, good meter and a joy to read, a winner for me, love Dolly x

Comment from rspoet
You've written an excellent story poem for the contest
of Pete on the varsity running team with the addition of a few rhymes.
You've integrated the four words nicely
so the poem reads quire well.
It's good the sand was hard packed, running in louse sand
is very taxing.
Excellent art work to match.
Nicely done
Best wishes to you.
Robert

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
I'm a runner too--I can relate to the frustration of 4th place. I'd prefer 5th if I can't place. Sand like cement--clever (so it also is for legs!) You incorporate the required words seamlessly. Cheers. LIZ
