Hey I love this one. yes my daughter is a poet too, but shy of letting anyone read her poems. She follows most of the poets on PS.

Andrea, figuritively speaking I love your entry :) just kidding, seriously I love you metaphoric write! Best of luck in Nikko's contest, love Wilma

Football as a metaphor for creativity and life. Intresting, Andrea. Keep it up! Love Matthew A.

enjoyed reading today--good luck!!

A perfect entry for the contest, Andrea! Wishing you good luck. Love, Audrey

Love it. What I really like is comparisons that I don't see coming, and this idea of a football field and fumbling with words with fantastic. I am from Lebanon btw (Middle East), in CA atm tho for uni xD I went to English schools as a kid back home so that's why my English is decent.

The second four lines - how true! eebbaadda, oobbaaddaa, zzeebbadda. You are not all by yourself in the great stadium of life. The rest of us flounder also. Love, Dave

Again, thanks for all the help. Carol Brown sent me a welcome and said she'd be happy to help too. "Antidis...." was posted on PFT and fell flat which was disappointing in that I think it's in my top 20. I like your poem above with football metaphors, but I think there's a typo in the second stanza; shouldn't the second line have the word "things" instead of "thing". Hugs, ~Jim

Another great entry for Nikko's contest.. good luck with interspersing the words like a football game language .... my entry is "Day Dawns in Darkness" about 9/11 tragedy.. as it was fresh in my mind the night I saw this contest posted.. luv..
