A Brief Paen To Baseball
The mighty N.Y. Metropolitans
went down to defeat
A small matter compared to
the terrible tragedy in Nepal
But I think it still matters
The damn Yankees defeated them
I am from Brooklyn
where memories of the Brooklyn Dodgers
still resonate
and the sun shines down
on Keyspan Park
Home of the class A Brooklyn Cyclones
Whom I am going to see this year
and will enjoy thoroughly
I used conversational poetry here and my own style of verse. Also I used the technique of memory - remembering a novel I read about baseball and the tales told by my relatives about their memories of the game.
