Congratulations Michelle, and once again you have inspired me to write another poem for you.
I would like to share it with you now.
Michelle's Red Violin
by Cherie Abbott
The air was filled with a haunting tune
from a single violin.
The crowd was tense but mesmerized
in hopes that she would win.
She skated with such elegance,
power strength and speed.
In landing all her triple jumps
she surely did succeed.
Performing first within her group
could unnerve any skater,
Knowing judges reserve marks
for those who may come later.
She gave it everything she had
from the beginning to the end.
To all of those who had doubts,
a message she did send.
It had been quite a challenge
Juggling skating and school,
Having found the right balance,
she proved she's no fool.
Her artistic perfection
was second to none,
Rewarded with Gold
when it was all said and done.
Her face all aglow
from her radiant smile,
Her joy and excitement
will last a long while.
Had she not won the Gold
she'd have still felt the same,
For she skated her best
living up to her name.
So on top of the World
she stands yet again,
In her velvety dress
from "The Red Violin."
I would like to share it with you now.
