Based on "Pumping Iron" by Diane Ackerman, come up
with the reasons why you play a certain
sport. Start with the reasons others might play, but you don't. Then talk about
why you do. Try to use descriptive words, and follow the form of Ackerman's
poem.
"Pumping Iron"
by Diane Ackerman
She
doesn't want
the
bunchy look
of
male lifters:
torso
an unyielding love-knot,
arms
hard at mid-boil.
Doesn't
want
the
dancing bicepses
of
pros.
Just
to run her flesh
up
the flagpole
of
her body,
to
pull her roaming flab
into
tighter cascades,
machete
a waist
through
the jungle
of
her hips,
a
trim waist
two
hands might grip
as
a bouquet.
