Two Poems from our Sports Poetry Collection

 
 
ITS OVER
   
Author: Stephanie Hitz
   
Poem:
ITS OVER
   
  The gym is dark, but noisy
suddenly a light flashes on,
and everyone goes silent
2 people enter the middle of the mat
they reach their hands together
and start weaving and dodging around
the crowd is screaming and yelling it’s impossible to hear

The buzzer sounds
and the people walk to the middle again
like dancers they move around
their dance suddenly turns into a tackle
one person is being forced to remain down on the mat
as the other uses his strength to hold him down

The referees hand strikes the mat like
a hammer hitting a nail
the match is over
the referee grabs the winners hand and raises it
for a second time stops for the loser
he takes in what has just happened
but in the time it takes to look back over the match
it's too late to fix anything
its over

WHY WE LOVE IT
   
Author: Elizabeth Green
   
Poem: WHY WE LOVE IT
   

When we step on that court spattered with maroon lines and graffiti, all our problems are left in the locker room

We don’t have to worry about our earlier altercations with our moms, don’t have to anticipate their emotions exploding in a big BOOM

Our boy problems no longer affect our moods or our lack of satisfaction

All we’re looking for is the ball so we may execute our plan of action

We’re playing the game we love with the girls we adore, we’re being coached by awesome coaches who’ve already had their 40 minutes of fame on this floor

We control our brains and God moves our feet, with this combination we can’t be beat

The only people who can control the fate of this game is our team and the opposing girls who are only looking for fame

The crowd is yelling to show that they care, the cheerleaders…well… we don’t notice they’re there

We take the game and make it our own, their team is going to be sad on their way home

We show everyone girls CAN play football, yet happily take our fouls as we watch the other girls fall

When we step off the court we again face all our problems and fears, yet we anticipate our next game like it’ll be our last for years
