What is the 2012 olympic poem?

Answer 1

The Olympic Poem is when you write a poem about the Olympics!

For example:

Running into that ocean roar of welcome

with the face of a hurt child striving,

among tense rival queens

whose castles are built of milliseconds,

you came from behind.

Our roar rose till it seemed

sheer decibels must push you clear.

Go Phantom!

Our own corroboree-striped Phantom,

ghost who runs in pain

to a lap of honor with a double flaag.

Your face was a book

of relief and awe that you'd won

that you hadn't cracked.

Then the pain of great tears about to start.

So tense you could scarcely see your fans

such sacks of their self-esteem

you'd carried. So many

had punted their hearts on you.

Once you laid down that load

you knew how heavy it was

and how lonely you still could be

but Cathy, only if you choose.

You have entered Dawn Fraserdom. Beware!

Whatever befalls, you can't hide from our love!

Happiness includes trust

in others that gold-medal

smile when you finally twigged

our huge roar was harmless.

May some day the ghost who runs

run for pure joy!

A mob's howl can be cheap,

and athletes mere entertainers,

actors with only one line.

But yours was a victory that meant.

And what it meant will grow.

But as you sang Advance Australia Fair

I think you finally knew

that Australia would be fair.

Last night at least one lost child

came safely home. By the time

you found your mother in the crowd

you had found a family too
