Long Footballs Poems

Can you not hear the rumblings of that distant herd coming,
The loud thundering of destiny’s champions crossing, the NFL

Compared with us, the kids today
Too little play and too much weigh.
Alone indoors they snack and sit
And buttons hit, while we stayed fit.

We'd quickly chores and homework do,
Then dash through doors to fun pursue,
To basketballs...

The  Rules of Football 

I took my little boy 
to a nearby football pitch 
He said he was tired 
of playing hide and seek 
He now wanted a football 
to play around and kick 

As he clutched my hand 
I spoke...

As soon as I graduated at 17, life was definitely to be;

At Bainbridge, became a...

Christmas is creeping in.
I’ve seen my first quality street tin. 
The John Lewis advert is out
And the motorised reindeers about. 

Shop windows glitter and glow,  
Ladbrookes give odds on the snow, 
The eyes ...

quantities of alcohol. can be pretty racists and homophobic, 
This white...

Thinking about how far I've come in...

Our lab named “Blackjack”, looks just like a bear
Jet black and grey, the color of his hair.
He’s an English Lab, with the big wide head
We bought him instead, of buying a bed.

He wouldn’t come in,...

Like nations many, at Central South Asian seam,
With its roots in the Paleolithic time stream;
Home of cultures, habitats, and martial movements,

I played quietly sometimes
With crayons, books and pictures
Creating crafts that only a child
Could enjoy or imagine with 
Images of brilliant hues and hopes

I played silently sometimes
With animals that had taught me
Of the value of friendship

Turned Out To Be

Footballs were found to be under-inflated;
Not well-mated and problems created;
Seems like part of a big scheme
Giving unfair advantage to a certain team.

So slippery footballs appeared to be;
Deflated like an ego could be...

Pulls down the last of the season’s bright artistry
 Carried away on blustery gusts,
  Weaving a tapestry of autumn’s magic

With everything we see, to be

What about those like me...

'Bout "footballs" and their yards,
How many football fields,
Can dance on a ...

 THE RISE OF FEMINISM
Feminism once constricted within four walls,
turning women into mere puppet dolls.
Tossed around like footballs.
Those “mighty men” standing all tall,
rejoice watching a women's downfall 
Today's women hang around in malls,
sharing their happiness...
