Commonwealth games poem

Fencing

As I grip my Sword and Start to sweat

The referee shouts out fence,

I thrust My blade at my opponent's Chest

He obviously think that hes the best,

I feel my pulse Beating Hard

I can’t believe I've Come this Far,

I'm At the Commonwealth Games

My Family are all so amazed,

My opponent thrusts at me

I block his hits all with ease,

With one last hit I knock him down

The Celebration echoes all around,

I've Won it I've done it  

I hear the Cheers,

After all that training

After all those years,

Its finished its done

I've been crowned number one

And I shall cherish this memory for years to come

For the Art of fencing is my number one.

Commonwealth games

I think the Commonwealth games are:

A Series of sports that that the countries in the commonwealth compete in a way it is kind of like an Olympics. I think it is a good idea to have them because if you are the best at something in your country it is good to have some healthy competition not just vs the athletes you have already defeated or tied with  

Other facts I know are:

Only countries in the commonwealth can Participate in the games.

The Commonwealth is all of the countries that support the the queen of England (Queen Elizabeth the 2nd)

You would have to work very hard to get there

It is a very complex thing very difficult
