Short Touchdowns Poems

slightest chill in the air this eve.
prospect of pumpkins blinking;
and apple, sour and sweet, pies;
sweater hugs and hot beverages;
passes and touchdowns; falling
leaves, piled high with laughter.

Fall brings football season.
Friends, family gather,
for friendly rivalry.
Food and drink are a must!
Field goals and touchdowns scored;
fouls flagged by referees.
Faithful fans come alive!

When the weather is fair
Touchdowns and field goals, I cheer;
When it is stormy with a loss,
With the team I stand, supporting;
Good and Bad

Your penalty flags left me wanting,
Challenging every yellow thong thrown;
Then ejected, exiled to the Friend Zone!...
