"The Quest to Win Spirit Week"

[18] As October rolls around, spirit week is the topic of discussion.
[18] To lose as a senior would come many terrible repercussions.

[14] The grand spirit-filled week started off with pajama day.
[16] The seniors took the lead easily and were ahead in the race.
[14] But the second day, the "freshmen success" did not delay.
[16] The seniors unfortunately had to settle for second place.

[16] However, to my joy, we won Wednesday's and Thursday's events.
[16] On Wednesday, everybody dressed up as cowboys and cowgirls.
[16] Our victory made the underclassmen begin to lament.
[16] Thursday, the seniors looked professional and looked as great as pearls.
[16] At last, our success for the week was beginning to unfurl.

[18] When the seniors felt comfortable, the hallway judging still brought us down.
[18] Somehow the freshmen beat us, because they too wanted the trophy and crown.
[19] Tension between each grade had quickly risen when the final day came about.
[19] Everyone dressed in their class color and cheered for the events with a loud shout.

[14] When the class dance and races finished, the crowd grew anxious.
[14] Every grade fighting to win made them appear contentious .
[18] All eyes were on the MC who then began to read the final standings.
[18] The seniors were declared winners, and rushed the floor as we had been planning.

[21] The feeling of winning could not be explained by any word in the dictionary.
[21] A hard-fought, school-spirited victory that will always remain in my memory.

  2. I really had fun reading this poem because it was well described and helps to relive the experience. I thought that the whole week was fun and competitive. I wish we could do it again but this is a good way to remember it.
