Question

amid the court, where sneakers softly pound
a symphony of dribbles and rebounds play
in the rhythm of the game, dreams are found

the hoop awaits, a challenge to astound
echoes of cheers, as harmonies abound
amid the court, where sneakers softly pound

with skillful moves, in a dribbling surround
players dance with the ball in a ballet
in the rhythm of the game, dreams are found

10 a jump shot arcs, through the air, unbound
swishing through the net, a moment to replay
amid the court, where sneakers softly pound

defenders strive, their efforts tightly wound
yet, the offense weaves through, finding a way
15 in the rhythm of the game, dreams are found

the clock ticks down, tension tightly wound
a buzzer sounds, concluding the display
amid the court, where sneakers softly pound
in the rhythm of the game, dreams are found
