TIGER'S+POEMS

=The Childhood of a Soccer Ball = (haiku) On an empty shelf sat a lonely soccer ball waiting for a boy

=Ode to the Soccer Ball = //inspired by ode to the Apple by PABLO NERUDA //

You soccer ball are the object of my praise I want to fill my day with you I want to kick you far.

You are always pumped, like a big balloon you have always been there your sunset colors are full and perfect.

Compared to you the balls of the earth are so awkward the bouncy basketballs, the flying baseballs, the double pointed football, the hard small lacrosse balls You are pure fun, Fast passed game, The chocolate of all sports.

When we kick your round innocence we hope for a moment that the kick of this ball will find its way to the net

=Soccer = (an acrostic)

Start the game is on! Ooh an awesome move! Can he score? Crash landed the goallie. Everyone cheers as the dust Rises and shows the ball in the back of the net.

=My Favorite Sport=  Soccer an awesome sport played around the world. Soccer a game of compassion lets play.

= Yellow Mellow, an Old Soccer Ball = **// inspired by Zeke, an Old Farm Dog by Kristine O'Connel George //**

The yellow ball on the field is my soccer ball: Sailing over defenders heads, Seeking out the net, Whizzing towards the goal, Flying in the air past the keepers out stretched arms.

Now it gets picked up and carried off to midfield line: waiting for the whistle, The game was on again, As a big foot approaches it, It flies throught the net Wishing it would score.

=Pass-Pass-Pass = //inspired by Jump-Jump-Jump by Kate Greenway //  Pass-pass-pass pass away from midfielder to striker and at the goal-ay.

Kick-kick-kick over the moon kick all morning and all noon.

Slidetackle-slidetackle-slidetackle all through the night won't our mothers be in a fright.

Punt-punt-punt over the sea what wonderful wonders the ball will see.

Dribble-dribble-dribble towards the net and kick it home its gonna score I bet
