Ray Allen Milestone

Ray Ray

Day and night, night and day, the jumpers rain,

Efficient as machines, his stroke obsessed,

Night and day, day and night, mechanic aim,

Where rational and accurate are stressed.

A military child, in green he’s dressed,

From on the Hillcrest looking down the road,

Precise in shot and aim, he’s Jesus blest,

He snipes, a shuttle’s worth of treys unload.

A fluid nature, skill and heart will bode

Of human limits back and forward beat,

Yet human, not machine, his essence flowed,

Toward a ring and medal gold elite.

Day and night, night and day, Ray Allen’s rhyme

Night and day, day and night, it’s winning time.

   This Sonnet was written in an abstracted form of the Spenserian sonnet form. A Sonnet is usually 14 lines of iambic pentameter, but it can be far more complicated as writers seek to bend but not break sonnet conventions. For more info on the literary form click here.
