Sonnet Nr.02 — Cricket-Football-Rugby
The batsman hit the ball as hard as hell
it flew beyond the line, a certain ‘six’
the umpire signalled both hands up to tell
as crowds applauded calmly pleased to bits
The centre-forward dribbled past the backs
and thwacked the ball, off-side, in back of net
the referee was blind or rather lax
or maybe bent the rules to win a bet
The fly-half took the ball and ran the pitch
a sprint of fifty yards, touched down to cheers
the try converted straight without a hitch
and local...
it flew beyond the line, a certain ‘six’
the umpire signalled both hands up to tell
as crowds applauded calmly pleased to bits
The centre-forward dribbled past the backs
and thwacked the ball, off-side, in back of net
the referee was blind or rather lax
or maybe bent the rules to win a bet
The fly-half took the ball and ran the pitch
a sprint of fifty yards, touched down to cheers
the try converted straight without a hitch
and local...

Things I Hate_004 (NaPo #26/30)
Sports,
I hate almost all sorts.
They cause injury, conflict, hatred against fellow man, and violent personality changes from head injuries,
The interesting things about almost all sports, remains to me, mysteries.
Like the head injury inducing football,
The similar rugby, and the murder causing soccer er- football.
The boring basketball, baseball, almost identical softball,
Uninteresting kickball, dangerous and over-glorified dodgeball,
The professional hot potato with exess sand sticking to sweat, that is volleyball,
Nearly identical...

Cathartic Arts
Up, down
Blinded
Throw, catch
Subsided
Spin, height
Perfected
Adrenaline courses through me
My chest swells with pride
My hands burn and scream
They're growing a rough hide
Empowered
Relieved
Who needs a professional
When you have metal
Who needs a confessional
When you blow the kettle
Learned
Unimpeded
Everything flies
My hands are tied
Up in this grace
And my stone-cold face
Blinded
Throw, catch
Subsided
Spin, height
Perfected
Adrenaline courses through me
My chest swells with pride
My hands burn and scream
They're growing a rough hide
Empowered
Relieved
Who needs a professional
When you have metal
Who needs a confessional
When you blow the kettle
Learned
Unimpeded
Everything flies
My hands are tied
Up in this grace
And my stone-cold face

The grand master
The white knight on a trusty steed
that can leap and jump with ease
and bow and scrape to kings and queens
the white or black pawns born lesbians
or be gay and not be prude
in that advance be misconstrued
taken down by the dirty rook
trapped and couldn't cock a snook
or bishop that has been defrocked
and left exposed by his own flock
soon castled, a defensive move
threaten, and to be repelled
blood was spilt as the pieces fell
the war it raged between white and black
casualties in piles were stacked
sacrificed to...
that can leap and jump with ease

Hero at the corner (competition entry)
A boy stands in bright sunlight peering through a chain link fence.
Positioned on the inside of the corner, waiting, expectant, tense.
A dull roar grows quickly, eight cylinders at the limit, a piercing, unearthly scream.
Then violent down shifting, thunderous cracking, from the fierce bestial machine.
The race car appears, the boys spies his hero, scarlet helmet, clear visor.
Car fast and sleek, a technical masterpiece by some forgotten designer.
Hero turns, hard on the brakes, car screams protesting at the abuse.
Front suspension...
Positioned on the inside of the corner, waiting, expectant, tense.
A dull roar grows quickly, eight cylinders at the limit, a piercing, unearthly scream.
Then violent down shifting, thunderous cracking, from the fierce bestial machine.
The race car appears, the boys spies his hero, scarlet helmet, clear visor.
Car fast and sleek, a technical masterpiece by some forgotten designer.
Hero turns, hard on the brakes, car screams protesting at the abuse.
Front suspension...
