Two Poems from our Basketball Poetry Collection

 
 
BASKETBALL
   
Author: Patrick Cassidy
   
Poem:
BASKETBALL
   
  As I dribble down the court
I hear the whistle blow
The ref yells out two shots
And sends me for a free throw
I make my first shot it goes down with a swish
But for my second shot I could only wish
I really want to make it
Go ahead and save the game
But instead I airballed and felt really lame
Coach called a time out and said I want the ball
Steal it on the throw in and we will win it all
The center throws the ball in and our player jumps in front
He throws his little hands up and the ball goes bump
Its in the air now and it is right where I can see
So I jump as high as I can and it lands right on me
I dribble to the three point line, stopped and popped a shot
But next thing that I knew it bounced right out
The teams scrambled for a rebound we’re still trailing them by three
But out of nowhere our team grabs the ball and throws it back out to me
I try to take the three again and this time it’s a swish
I never could have done it without our team’s dish
My coach said I saved the game with my Hail Mary shot
He jumped up and down and celebrated quite a lot
We’re going to the championship
Hooray Yee hah Yippee
We never could have done it without Patrick Cassidy

SO PLAY
   
Author: April Nunn
   
Poem: SO PLAY
   


Grime, dirt and passion.
That’s what you see and feel down here
on the court.
No one plays for fun. It’s all about
getting a chance to make it.
Players eat, sleep and dream about the
game.
On one side of the court there lies your
past.
On the other there lies your future.

So play.

Street lights come on and that means
“Game Time”.
Once the game begins, bodies collide
and the ultimate contest begins.
Between the legs, behind the back,
players showing off
all their moves.
Rim rattlers and jumpshots are initiated.
If you fall, then get up and push it even harder!
Remember, this is the game of games. There’s
no tomorrow!

So play.
