Red and Seabiscuit Interrupted Poem

Red
the elegant, driven underdog
fails more and more
but smart and clever
even though he doubted.

Red raced more and more, only adding more tallies to his losing side. Seabiscuit, even though her came from a famous and talented family, lost every race that was thrown at him only getting the ferocious beast angry. Red was placed with the worst horse in the worst race creating a failing career that was bittersweet. Placed with bigger, faster horses, the flat footed, disorganized outcast was set up only to loose for the other horse to get better. Seabiscuit was sold for the rock bottom price of $2000 because of this. Red squeezed every cent out of what he did and did extra work to keep racing. Both were smart, clever, driven, and troubled.

Seabiscuit
the cinder block like horse
struggled to win his races
meeting his new jockey
and running low kneed and struggle legged
the blunt horse sees his hole.
