Two Poems from our Sports Poetry Collection

 
 
JOUST
   
Author: Lee Emmett
   
Poem:
JOUST
   
  caught on the field between
sir-ghostly-past and sir-fantasy-future,
a heart almost deadened from earlier struggles:
bride-to-be considered not really a trophy -
more an abandoned trinket,
or bauble for toying

tournament consists of steely lances
thrust from different directions,
frontally first - to some extent, expected,
then unawares - struck from behind,
until one victor stands
either totally smitten,
or at the least, overcome


fake suitors wrestle desultorily,
neither risks overly much in the fight,
barely present any desire to cast the other aside:
each has only vague urge to dominate,
more a display of chivalry than the blood-lust of youth
bent on wedding beloved white-veiled virgin,
standards are lowered for widow’s weeds -
slender motivation to raise royal insignia

yet bystanders clamour for a result:
the triumph of fidelity or passion?
crowd would like the issue settled,
once and for all

Knight and Knave both half-hearted:
it is almost an indecent match,
prize hardly worth the effort,
besides, neither combatant has been shown
any particular favours, virtually
no indication of preference

a wonder that the lack-lustre event
was even organised,
the contest arises only
as a matter of honour -
hardly a tour d’amour

The Bearburg Address
   
Author: Phil Valentino
   
Poem: The Bearburg Address
   

One score and a year ago, the Bears won the Super Bowl.

Now they have left in sheer desperation to win the Super Bowl and show the nation.

Now they are in FLA to show the world they’re here to stay.

Dedicated to Lovie Smith, they’re the team not to fuck with.

Conceived in training camp and forged with desire, they’re the team you have to admire.

Now all the teams from east and west know our Bears are the very best!!

So I’m here to say with no reservation that the Bears will shit on the Colt’s expectations.
