For the Love of the Game

by Italian Stallion   Jun 7, 2008


Sitting on a cold musty bench,
Absorbing the strong stench.
Heated players running bout
Since the ump just called him out.

Jumping up number thirteen shouts,
He was safe without a doubt.
Three - two we need to score,
I now declare this is war.

Strike one, two, three,
Is the way it ought to be.
Take the other team out fast,
Now it's time for us to surpass.

For the love of the game,
Is what most will proclaim.
Baseball's our guiding light,
And we won't stop even at night.

    It feels a little thrown together to me. If you went back and cleaned up the rhyme and flow a bit I think you would have a great ode to baseball.

    A good poem yet i feel the rhyming was a little forced, yet with a few changes you could make this poem great. Nice descriptions given to =]

    I like this poem. It is very easy for those who have played baseball or softball to understand and your wording allows those who have not played the sport to understand and see what it is like. I liked the rhyming and it kept the flow going strong through out the whole poem. 5/5
