A Double-Sided Coin: Playoffs

The roar of the crowd fills the air The whistle blows, my heart pumping Bucket for Bucket, foul for foul A free shot soon to be coming A needed break for the fans and players As the game comes to a pause The team devises their next move A new perfect plan without flaws A tense feeling overtakes the room As the game is nearing a close As every viewer is on the edge of their seat A team’s grit and clutch begin to show The end of a tied game, the tension rises One chance and one shot each team owns The suspense, sharp in this one moment As both team’s fate still unknown As the ball drops through the net The crowd arises in loud cheers One team is left with joy and victory While the other is left in sorrowing tears
