POETRY BY KRITIKA BHANDARI
My Best Athlete Trophy


Today I'd like to share something with my book of poems
Oh no! They aren't the same old theorems

Today I have something to tell you
Of course it's my best athlete, which had practically been sued

Not just a matter of weeks but a month's delay
To have out sports day and the much awaited relay

Winning the 200mts was not an easy task
With the first lane I was sure to come last

But with god's grace
I won the competitive race

How can I ever forget that victory?
Over people whose victory had been ancestry

Not that I now will be complacent with myself
But an athlete who's confident of oneself

This is not the end of my world
But surely a stepping-stone
For me to get to the Olympic throne
