Pressure (an acrostic poem)

Pushing past the limits of her endurance

Rita kept ratcheting up the tension in her muscles

Everything was on the line this time

Success and she was set for life

Slip up and she would be homeless and broken

Urging her body to give her just a little more

Rita growled as she felt her opponent quiver

Everything after that happened so fast she didn’t know how to react

Pain (an acrostic poem)

Pushing the limits of human endurance

Asking for more than the body wants to give

It lets you know when you’ve gone over the threshold

Now what you do when that happens is up to you
