Foul Shot

Swish. Bang, Dribble. Shot.
Crane my neck up at the hoop.
Girp the ball, it will not droop.
Put my feet on the line.
Oh please go in ball of mine.
Hands in positon.
Watch my vison.
Defense ready.
Box out go.
Offense ready to put on a show.
Okay defense go, go, go.
Swish. Bang. Dribble. Shot.
Oh please don't worry the ball was caught.
Rebound now.
Hold your ground.
Braids whip.
The ball dips.
In it goes.
Swish. You know.
Fans cheer.
Defense veers.
Jerseys bunch.
Elbows crunch.
Don't get cought.
Foul Shot.

    This is a poem of hope,

     a poem of peace. 

    It is short and sweet, 

    simple as a bird going tweet.

    I just want to say 

    Covid please go away 

    that is all I have to say. 
  • You're Job Is A Tree

    You glow in the day,
    A shadow at night.
    As kids climb you they scream with delight.
    The sky turns pink, gold, and red.
    You sit there watching. With nothing to be said.
    You bloom in the spring,
    And loom in the winter.
