Ball Play : Sports Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Its what you do with the ball that counts .

Like keeping control ,trapping the bounce ,

Whichever side of the ball you hit

 Taking the time to connect with it .

Bending the ball and sending it in .    

Making the ball work is how you win . 

It's being able to pick your spot .

  The scissor kick or the volley shot .

Holding and shielding it as you go .

Keeping it alive, making it flow .

Claiming the ball while others look on .

Taking the chance before it is gone .

   Up you go in the air with the head .

Head and shoulders above them ,

Well played .
