Nicholas Q.

Recognition

Awe struck people bow before me

Because of my super sonic speed

Catch me if you can

Don’t act like a fool

Enough of your bragging

Finally, I will show everyone.

Godly is an adjective to describe me

Hewing through the water

I am a torpedo

Jammer clinging to my legs

Kicking hard

Lifting my arms

Moving the water

Nobody near me

Oncoming wall

Push off it hard

Quake is what I make others do.

Rush of water going past my head

Speed increasing second by second

Touching the wall with an outstretched hand

Undefeated I stand.

Ventilating through my mouth

Wet hair dripping water

X factor is my choice of drink

Yelling is all I hear

Zealot of the pool.
