Short Roar Of The Crowd Poems

Can you hear the roar of the crowd?
As they hang on the edge of their seats.
Can you see them scream?
For their team
Can you see the faces of joy they have?
For their country
Can you see them cry and laugh?
When they win or lose
All while they hold the flag in the name of their country....

Soothing sounds of a Sunday afternoon
Low roar of the crowd, touchdown soon
Delighted children giggling uncontrollably
The family relaxing so comfortably
Morning paper around us suitably strewn

his hands and mind fluttered


he hit home runs in practice
in his solitude
under the sheets of loneliness
over the view of rose petals
the roar of the crowd wasn't in his dreams

fluttering, fluttering
frenetic ... was 
he once tried his hand ...
... at sweet blossoms and lily pads
his hands and mind fluttered

The crack of the bat,
The roar of the crowd,
The smell of the earth,

The windup of the pitcher,
The call of the ump,
The anger of the batter,
In these hallowed fields. 

The cheer of good friends,
The closeness of family,
The kiss of my spouse,
In these hallowed fields.

Wonder if they know…
 Just how hard my family works

 “Furlough Days” as they like to call it
 A cut in pay as we like to call it…..

Here nor there, there are lots of little quirks…..

Now the budgets in trouble again, let’s make them pay

And pay

And pay again! 

No more furloughs they said 
(As cheers roar through the crowd) “Whhoohoo”
We will just make them pay for their PEBB…..
That’s what we dread...
