Nadal Decline Poetry - Page 2

MichaelNadal · 05-11-2011, 11:28 AM

Lol you guys are mean. He had a FAR, FAR worse second half of 2009. He's having the second best year on tour. Relax. No one is on Novak's level right now. It's like Roger said. "I've created a monster". People are SO used to Nadal not even losing SETS on clay, that threads like this get started when he goes 3 sets. It's a little dumb.

'Fear not', said he
The one with troubled knees
It's just a small slump
My legs have become stumps
And now I am a tree!

Wait...nah, I'm not good at this. I read all of these in the voice of that guy who reads the poems before rugby matches. Jones101's is great.

Wait til their past.
And WTF, well Nad's was gassed.

2 0 1 1 then came around,
Rafa was nowhere to be found,
The Serb with verve, he did much better,
he had no need to play five setters!

Now on clay the Joker strikes,
And fans are ****ed,
"That just ain't right!"
They hope he can put up a fight.

This was probably the best one, good job

People also seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that Rafa just lost a close friend.
He was a star, but he was still a friend. I'm not sure how I would behave if there was a moment of silence for a friend of mine in a stadium just before I had to defend my title in a semi-final.

The Spaniard stares with glassy eyes
Defies the double fault
His eyes are white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage

5 years years ago, how the shots would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision

And he stares out Arthur Ashe's stadium door
Where the sun will rise no more...

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the troll who once could see
The bell tolls for thee...

Goodbye Rafa

I read this with Claire De lune playing in the background, it made it more beautiful lol

lol, people are so excited about nadal losing they have started to write poetry. Reminds me of the oscar wilde quote about poetry.

Hitman · 05-11-2011, 01:12 PM

I have to admit, some of you guys are pretty good!

I didn't know that Nadal has the ability to bring out the creative talents in so many. It must be the top spin!

Caracalla · 05-11-2011, 01:18 PM

great thread

mandy01 · 05-11-2011, 01:24 PM

LMAO

rovex · 05-11-2011, 02:02 PM

Wonderfully crafted, JoelDali.

Mighty Lorenzi,
posing a clay-court challenge?
Apparently so.

Nadalのための死の詩

接戦16から8を使って;
薄い月の下。
印はなされた

Japanese Death Poem for Nadal

With a 16 to 8 head to head;
under a pale moon.
The mark has been made.

Sentinel · 05-12-2011, 03:38 AM

Nadal is poetry in motion.

AtomicForehand · 05-12-2011, 04:33 AM

I had rather liked, insofar as I knew
JoelDali
that is, until he came
up with this vile thread
so hurtful to champions and the people
who love them

Or rather, to one champion
in particular
The noble Spaniard, part
pirate, part prince, and yet
not too noble
not to wipe
the court with the ass
of JoelDali
