Hockey

What do I know about hockey
I'm watching the guys flying on ice
With sticks in hands and a tiny black thingy 
which I called it "chip" they're skating and fighting over it
Oh but this sport looks painful
They're hitting and slamming into each other 
And the crowd gets so wild about it
Back and fort they skate and hit 
And I am flinching and worrying they might be hurt
It seems like the crowd get so riled up 
Especially when two guys had a free fight
Now they go take timeout in the glass box
Just then one red jersey guy shoot the black thingy into the net
And the lively crowd went up singing 
Scooore scooore 
At long last I can cheer clapping hands 
Not knowing I wasn't supposed to cheer for that scoring team  
Booo... Lets go Rangers they chanted
Oh this sport looks real exciting but I am very sure the players will be black and blue the next day
Lol... What do I know about hockey... Smile :)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/10/2020 1:35:00 PM this is really really cute, Akkina. I agree with Pangie down here when she talks about boxing, football, etc. Too many violent sports cannot be good for the BRAIN. I prefer to remain brainless about these dumb sports! Login to Reply

Panagiota Romios Date: 11/9/2020 1:40:00 PM Boxing is more brutal. It causes brain concussions. Hockey p,ayers wear heavy protective gear, Baseball players fight team to team on the ground. Nobody says a thing. They don't get black and blue))) They, in actuality are Sweet men. I knew a few. Football is real violence...but don't people see it? NO Good poem. I went to hockey games for two full years..I saw the Stanley Cup, too You inspired me to right one noe)) Watch the demonstrations in NYC and Portland...real violence Thanks Akinna.. Login to Reply

James Marshall Goff Date: 5/11/2017 8:34:00 AM Greetings Akkina...from the snow fields & ice ponds of Minnesota (actually, surreal idylic outside, flowers blooming, birds chirping, 55 degrees) your poem, from a reflective, "subconscious thought" response to hockey, such as I would have to cricket, even soccer "futbol" (tho I love premier & champions leagues on tv!) is highly entertaining! cheers! Login to Reply Akkina Downing Date: 5/11/2017 9:11:00 AM Greeting James from Minesota, thanks so much For the visit, and hope you'll have a wonderful day :)

Paul Callus Date: 5/10/2017 1:25:00 PM Hi Akkina:) I clicked on this poem because of the title. I used to play hockey when at College, but not on ice! There is no comparison between field and ice hockey! I enjoyed this poem and your sense of humour:) Regards // paul Login to Reply Akkina Downing Date: 5/10/2017 6:51:00 PM Thank you so much Paul :)

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 5/5/2017 1:13:00 PM I enjoyed your humorous poem Akkina. You sound like me. I don't enjoy sports where anyone gets hurt.
