I'd rather contemplate than compete
It's Paradoxical, Isn't it?

Competition writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Write a free verse poem on competition. Tell what it means to be competitive and why you love competition or not. Free verse is a form of poetry that does not necessarily follow to any specific meter patterns, rhyme, or any other pattern. Free verse, despite its freedom, often still has some elements of form. Most free verse does observe a convention of lines and structure. No rhyming patterns. |
Years of playing in tennis tournaments I never wanted to enter, or playing competition matches every Saturday afternoon and Tuesday nights, and I really ended up throwing down the gauntlet/racket! I played for many years after quitting competition games, just for the enjoyment. Nowadays, I haven't picked up a racket in too long, but that's how life goes I guess. One day, I'll get back on a court again. For now though, I content myself with watching it on TV if I'm ever in front of a match, or remembering how much fun tennis is as a sport. It's those over-competitive freaks that ruin it for everyone else!
