The Way I Play Soccer
Sweat streams down my
face,
And my skin turns red under
the watchful eye of the sun.
The sound of cleats
pounding the earth is
deafening
As my enemies charge down
the field towards me.
I can sense the shooter is
going to miss;
All at once, the ball collides
into my chest.
Screams of victory roar
across the field.
The grass stained, game ball
rests
Rests lovingly between my
two hands.

Summertime is here

I’m dissolving into a

I want to dive into a

Though I’m sure that

Open me up, my

I think I’m now well
done.
You can fry an egg
upon my brow
As I melt away in the

The Basketball
Game
The basketball swished
As the ball dived right
through
It was a great shot, this much
is true
The buzzer let out it’s nasally
laugh
The end of the quarter, the
end of the half
The game did resume when
the ref’s whistle barked
‘Players get ready’, their
interest was sparked
It was a tough game, the
court became scuffed
The brooms cleaned and
polished, and made it all
buffed
The backboard was aching,
as the shots kept on coming
Despite its best efforts, the
ball kept on drumming
We had so much fun, the
basket was tired
And all of the players were
hot and perspired

Everybody’s eyes are

I am always given the

My aim is as certain
as the rising sun.
