The pathfinders from the group practicing their marching skills, as the afternoon rains rumble towards them. The poem below describes the soccer game that sprung up with the rain just a few minutes after this picture was taken.
Dash! Splash! Crash!
Thunder crumbles,
Wind snaps sharp
Rain soaks down and through.
Sprinting! Sliding! Diving!
Taste of rain,
Barefoot thwacks,
Bodies hit the ground!
“Vai! Vai! Vai!”
Dancing feet,
Hammering head,
Bouncing knees, thumping chest!
“Ladrão! Ladrão!”
Laughter crescendos
Shouts of endorphins,
Zinging ball, stinging toes!
Slam! Spin! Goal!
(Vai = go, Ladrão = theif)
