KIdsWWwrite - December 2003 - My Senses on the Basketball Court

	My Senses on the Basketball Court Jessica, Age 12, Romeo, MI

I see
…the toughness of my opponents spreading across the court.
   …the minutes going down on the scoreboard.

I hear
…the cheering of the crowd coming from the stands.
…the blowing of every referee’s whistle before the game starts.

I smell
…the victory that is right under our noses.
…the hot brisk air that is coming through one of the open doors in the gym.

I taste
     …the sweat that is pouring onto my lips.
     …the cold water rushing to the back of my throat.

I feel
…the sweat of each of my teammates on the basketball under my fingers.
    …the dirt on the floor as I slide to the ground.

I am a teammate, a defender, a player.
