Hi Room 6
I have enjoyed reading your diamantes and have lingered over each poem appreciating your choice of words. This was a good topic because we have all shared the experiences and can really relate to what you are saying about these athletes. Your words bring back some good memories. I was caught by Milika choosing to use the word 'amusing' about Mahe Drysdale. I haven't seen that side of him from the bits and pieces I have seen on TV so I will watch more carefully and see if I can figure out why you chose that word.
Keep up the great writing
Mrs Burt
while I was reading your peoms I could see in my mind the funny faces that the athletes have when they are trying really hard. Thankyou.
