Two Poems from our Basketball Poetry Collection

 
 
A BASKETBALL SONNET
   
Author: Maclen Zilber
   
Poem:
A BASKETBALL SONNET
   
  Oh to be there when Celts and Lakers reigned

Every player played his best with Larry

The limits of hoop wizardry were strained

Watching Magic with the ball was scary

Worthy and Cooper, Magic and Kareem

Parish, Bird and Ainge, Kevin McHale

The way they dished the rock out was supreme

They played as one and oh the ball would sail

The Lakers won five ships just for some fun

And Larry won three rings for his own team

But taken from the league by ninety-one

Were Magic, Larry and of course Kareem

So Detroit won in nineteen eighty-nine

And so ended the age that was divine

HIGH SCHOOL GLORY (A TRIBUTE TO BASKETBALL)
   
Author: Derrick Wesley
   
Poem: HIGH SCHOOL GLORY (A TRIBUTE TO BASKETBALL)
   

the blood, the sweat, the tears
the laughter, cries, and cheers
fast break, shake and bake
pump fake, love and hate
five souls intertwined as one
if this game is to be won
'cause in this league,
it's not about the cash
it's all about the love,
not a paycheck, or camera flash
only four years to prove if you have what it takes
to be the Big Man on campus, cause you scored twenty-eight
"SWISH," is like a cry from Heaven, as if God himself
came down and whispered, "Nothing but net"
the angels sang the "chorus", the crowd can't stop roaring
everytime I hear the story, of that highschool "Glory"
