Excellent

Great piece for the contest. It looks as though all of the rules have been met for the contest. As with all sports, the only way that you really lose is if you quit. You must have that personal satisfaction before you can even think about the gold. best wishes in the contest.

Thanks for the read, Eric and for the coment.

Excellent

A fine entry for the contest
with 1-6-1 syllables
You must have two or more rhymes
I don't think line/win qualify as rhymes
Otherwise, nicely done
with excellent art work to match
Good luck in the contest

Excellent! I like your use of the word "stroke" . It surprised me and made me smile. Good luck in the contest. The picture is a great match. I'm wondering what came first.

Check again. Had to change first line to swim in order to have two rhyming lines. Thanks for the read.
