Angelina was inspired by her favorite Olympic athlete, Bode Miller, to write the Shakespearean sonnet that won the Hope Academy sonnet writing contest. Congratulations, Angelina!
A Sonnet for Bode by Angelina
Some know him as the fastest man on snow
Bode, the commonly alluded name
The Silver Metal champion we know
The Silver Metal champion we know
Going for gold in the Vancouver games
Such as the impression of his skis
he found his life escalating downhill
Sasha Rearick took the dream he had seized
For he was partying instead of drills
With his spot on the Olympic team gone
Sasha awards Bode a second chance
His love for skiing still continued on
from there he has done nothing but advance
Undisputedly the best on the team
Bode will never give up on his dream
