Forget about the leap, the reach, the
Scissored kick
Sure they cover ground
--Profligate, extreme
Nearly doing splits upon the strip--
Then leave you
Hanging out to dry
Stretched thin
O'erbalanced
All too often
Overthrown
Focus on the anchor.
Back foot rooted to the earth
Tunneling to the molten core
Powering volcanic bursts
The coiled power of the calf
The tensioned thigh the
Tucked bum
Leading with a coy swing of the hip
Stubby , powerful, controlled
Leaving open options
Waiting 'til last moment to
Ignite
Maybe not the showiest of moves
Stylistically impaired
Modest in it's reach
So you fall short--so what?
I'd rather live to take another try than
Flame out with extravagant ambitions
