Brian Strand Poet Elegy

A SOCCER ELEGY

Oh dear oh dear
where is the beautiful game?
behind its defensive wall
it seems passing back&forth
is now the be&end-all-
reactive not proactive & no guile
'wing-back' sums-up this woeful style

Mark Toney August 1, 2024 at 7:52 PM Brian, you point out an unfortunate aspect of modern soccer. That’s why I find more enjoyment watching tournaments when the players know there’s more on the line.

Paula Goldsmith July 23, 2024 at 10:18 AM Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading your creative "Soccer" write. Have a wonderful day writing away.............

Ink Empress July 14, 2024 at 6:54 AM I agree, soccer used to be more fun before. I used to be a fan of italy. But now, its so different. I bet tonight you will be supporting England? Will be fun to watch the finals: pleasure reading this. Best wishes
