The Game-Winning Shot

Sports Poem

By Mutahir AhsanPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

The ball is in my hand,

The clock is ticking down,

My team is counting on me,

To make the winning sound.

I dribble left and right,

With the defender on my tail,

I fake a move and shoot,

With all my might and skill.

The ball soars through the air,

Towards the hoop so high,

It swishes through the net,

And my team lets out a cry.

We jump and shout with joy,

As the buzzer sounds the end,

For we have won the game,

And our spirit will never bend.

The game-winning shot,

Is not just about the score,

It's about the team and trust,

And the drive to give it more.
