Poetic Piece On the Pitch

There is a calming sense When flipping a jaded pence A bit coin motion Needing a peaceful mind potion A pound here And a beer Does appear From the dear Working the bar Remembering a war scar Watching sport Drinking not enough to spend time in a court Lighting a smoke With an innocent choke Calming down hearing a humorous joke International football match is on Artistically illustrating what to do with the bomb A subtle tap on the shoulder If ones attitude is getting colder Right wing, left wing forges forward Birds in formation stronger and bolder Attacking one man defending a net Using a foot as a gunner on a fighter jet Targeting a defenseless gent Protecting the land from the aggressor that was sent He can use hands to catch the ball Diffusing an invasion punching it over a wall Creating a corner kick Staying vigilant waiting for the next trick At times cards are pulled out Making everyone scream and shout Yellow turns to red Ending the day playing dead There is a box on the field Connected a deal Break the rules in a certain place Penalties and Punishment differs not showing any grace Outside the area show the stiff upper lip Inside prepare to take a hit Stand there in line Not able to decline Imitate the staring down That happens when an enemy controls the town While on an attack there could be a whistle Aborting the shot on goal missile Offside the flag is lowered “Retreat retreat enemy are now the controller” Could be heard Scattering back waiting for orders to return Forty five minute clock that continues to run Until play is done Broken up into halves Hopefully the event opens communication paths It seems the game has no action Until a royal is distracted A scoring mission successful in the end And an advisor interruption needing to defend Athletic competition is classified as peace Losers are not deceased Instead it is an entertaining show Having nice pace and flow Crowning a winner Before both oppositions talking over dinner
