Mets Poems - Poems about Mets

Let's Go Mets

If you think it best, I'll go away
And wait alone until someday
We'll meet that day at Citi Field 
Behind home plate in seats that yield
The perfect shot for the kiss cam
I'll kiss you first then take your hand
And with my hand atop your ring
The ring of promise that you'll bring
I'll ask you if you'll marry

After the Mets Victory

Sitting here on the fabled Lower East Side 
I watch the electric warriors on my TV screen 
7 innings of shut out ball for the Mets
But relievers came in and gave up a few runs
Victory is sweet 
But they rarely let a pitcher pitch 9 innings anymore 
Would have been nice to see Noah Syndegard

Reflections of An Aging Mets Fan

Been a fan of the New York Metropolitans 
since the beginning
The early teams were hapless
Leading Casey S to ask
"Can anybody here play the game?"
This year they started out 10 and 1 - 
a record rarely matched in baseball 
New manager , new hopes
They managed to take the series in 1969 and 1986
so this season hopefully

Another spring day 
I lie down and watch the game

The Mets Or the Met

Should one watch sports or 
    go see great art 
Why not do both ? 
After all Carl Sandburg wrote a poem
   about baseball 
   and he was an artist 
No. I don't draw as well
    as the old masters
but I do enjoy doodling

An Aging Mets Fan Responds

In the exhibition game today 
The Mets are battling the Yankees
I remember the early Mets
Kranepool and Hunt come to mind 
Baseball defines this country 
As it did in the movie "Field of Dreams"
I read in a men's magazine 
that a ballplayer made it into a prestigious poetry magazine 
The years come and go 
A new

A Journey Into the Ny Mets

The game continued on TV in the Big Apple 
I even talked my mother into watching it 
   The N.Y. team played well and triumphed!
My team - the Mets - the one I support 
   I played catcher 45 years ago 
If I had focused more - who knows

Ny Mets Blues

Now I see 
    that 
World Series time 
  has arrived 
Seems to me that something 
   is missing there
      The NY Mets 
aren't in it 
   As a fan from their inception 
I remember Mr. Stengel and Art Shamsky(Another Jewish Ballplayer

The Amazin' Mets of 1969

Two National League teams departed New York City
when the Dodgers and Giants left the vicinity.
Both teams went to California out on the West Coast.
The Big Apple was without a National League host.
An expansion four years later brought another team.
Newspaper editor Joan Payson fulfilled a dream.
Again, New Yorkers could see a National League game.
A new team
