Short Pennant Poems

A crawling held a walled frame as passer-by beheld too
A football helmet and high school pennant encased against a wall
Tapestry of day shades painted wall of ledged held rolled flag....

Limerick: Once a future King heir apparent

Once a future King heir apparent
Old House stained and shredded to pennant
Divorced the future Queen
Married divorcee between
Now sees Russian demimonde during Lent

Leaves on a Japanese Maple
dance auburn in the wind
remind me of that mother

crossing Michigan Avenue
before the light changes
one hand on her buggy

the other on her little boy
wind in her auburn hair
a long pennant flaring

telling all of Chicago
it's Spring, by gosh!
it’s finally here

That is certainly an embarrassing shame
when seven errors are committed in a game.
While this team is vying for a pennant,
the stands are rife with discontent.
A cascade of boos should be coming your way.
That’s what you get for such lousy play.
Is that how you professionals earn your pay?
With play like that, don’t expect to finish first.
Keep it up, and you will be among the worst.

Oh, such amorous flamenco
A bailaora who whirls  fervidly
Nascent paltriness, a winged coo
Unruffled yet sways seamlessly

To grasp is to grin and bear it
To ace is quite an arduous drill
To master is to act with grit 
And delectate the peachy whirl

One oblique pennant of breath
Suchlike to humane multitude
Defiance from old  shibboleth
A vagueness of life’s certitude

I emotionally desire the experience to be free,
where i yearn to stand undisturbed like a tree.

They say time can to so much, in my case so little,
i can feel myself interchange and becoming heavily brittle.

I long to recognize the sensation to be free,
i wish you were aware of how tender it is to be me.

My pennant days and lack of self confidence is something i cannot choose to ignore,
and now i am heartfelt like never before....

Barry Bonds Witchhunt cons

Sold out tickets make owners fond 

Money bags Pennant flags

Baseball's back

On Spots Illustrated mags 

Homerun chase

Time to contemplate

Adoring fans now say Your a National Disgrace

Commissioner too

Crying the Public Boo-Hoo 

Used the breaking of Aaron's record 

To advertise the brew

No more dough Let's dull the glow

On this sordid Major League Baseball 

Hypocrites Sideshow...

These players are very athletic and adroit.
This baseball team represents the City of Detroit.
The fans who attend their games are happy as a lark.
These boys play their home contests at Comerica Park.
With hitting and pitching, this team has gotten it all together.
Their fans just hope Detroit has plenty of sunny weather.
The Tigers are playing well during this current campaign.
Perhaps a pennant is something this team can attain.

Take the Washington Metro, and get off at the Navy Yard.
Getting to and from Nationals Park is not hard.
The baseball team is making itself a name.
They send the other teams off losing in shame.
The Nats have been winning games at a torrid pace.
Have you seen the standings lately?  They are in first place.
Washington baseball teams have been known for futility.
No Washington team has won a pennant since 1933.
If they won this year, wouldn’t that be good to see?...

Your major league career started in Cincinnati.
Some years later, it ended in Kansas City.
You played every position, but primarily second base.
Many seasons involved a pennant chase.
Not many knew your real name was Octavio.
The nickname “Cookie” is the one we would know.
You came a long way from your origins in Cuba.
Your had your best seasons while playing for Philadelphia.
As a player and later a coach, you could do it all.
In your time, you were an asset to baseball.
