"The Closer" ("The Eagle")
He places the ball in his dirty glove.
He can't let the batter hit the ball. No, that's not enough.
He has to - must - strike him out. This is gonna be tough!
The games on the line; there is no doubt.
He picks up his sign from his catcher, who is giving him a encouraging shout.
He winds up, cocks back, and gives him the heat. Strike 3! Batter's out!
This is quite BIG! But I like the light tone and realistic detailing.
ReplyDeleteI think the only thing that you should re-do is the formatting. Formatting the poem to be smaller would make it easier to read and the rhyming scheme easier to see.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is very simple and realistic. I liked the fact that I could see exactly what you were describing. The rhyme scheme also helps the poem sound more informal. Nice job!
