Typewriter Rodeo’s David Fruchter was inspired by the intrepid young women of high school volleyball for this week’s poem.
Warriors of the Court
sacrificing their summer
on the altar of training,
like any athlete
honing their minds and bodies
to the peak of alertness,
speed, strength
and devastating power
the young women of high school volleyball
are coming
to destroy you
hurling themselves around the court
diving for the save
becoming one mind with their team
and spiking that deadly sphere
right in your FACE
so watch out
volleyball women are coming
and they will NOT be blocked
