Poetry Football

(Picture Credit - Tes)

 

As a typer of what might be

Poetry

I am a football manager

With WORDS as my players.

 

Words in a Deep W Formation –

Total free verse

Hopefully forming a diamond.

No buses parked here

As my words go winging

Down the page.

 

Not quite five three two

But maybe the odd Haiku

In syllables of five seven five –

For there are far more than eleven syllables

In Poetry.

 

All writers are the same:

Our words combining

To make meaning,

Passing our visions

Views and feelings

For a crowd of readers

All being well.

 

Words to be chanted

By crowds enchanted –

Songs for a stadium

That is our united mind.
