Soccer Poems

It's me and the four walls again;
I look outside the window with agony.
No more handshakes,
No more random house visits,
No more sky-gazing,
No more playing soccer.....
Life feels stale - unpalatable to the soul
My world feel as though it's sinking
into the abyss,
with every...Read More

All night unto dawn
a gentle sadness
a comforting...

there is a dreaming rain falling
it is younger than morning mist
it is the first and last teardrop
as the world recalls its ancient roots.

I rest in the backwash of my own ebbing waves.
My breath cleansed...Read More

Someone once published a title “A Tale of Two Cities” 
And tonight’s European football fate seemed to be artistically witty 
Over Anfield the stadium was a fill 
While Paris there was nil 

With Man City Citizens and their gunners getting...Read More

Foxes found themselves at home 
In a match they could dial in by phone 
A villain came into their midst 
Trying to cure themselves from the bottom half EPL cyst 
Noted as the visiting team the villains knew they were...Read More

Video replay review video replay review 
I am so frustrated with you 
They said it was offside 
What are you getting at West Ham lied? 
Film makers should suggest 
Moving pictures are not perfect and could create a mess 
You...Read More

I sit here waiting for my fish dinner 
Wondering if Club America is going to be a winner 
With no wall in sight 
The casino sports books say this is going to be a good match, right 
One side of...Read More

the match seems
to be going well
but what the hell
she just pulled
my hair from
behind and
mind you
i want
to

fall for you
like a soccer
player does to
get a flag against 
the other team Member...Read More

The day you were born you are mother and father's miracle,
You were a very calm baby boy.

Walter brought baby Erik and mom home from the hospital,
Mom could stay at home with you for a few months.

You learned to walk and...Read More

After doing my author duties 
Got to the pub for a futbol beauty 
Liverpool Chelsea in a duel under the lights 
Should go down to the final seconds I do write 
But the score before I order is one nil...Read More

Liverpool showed very early they have a goal 
How very cold? 
But the Londoners got off the couch 
And stood tall without a slouch 
They scored one really quick 
Giving the clock not much time to tick 
As the first...Read More

What good memories living with our parents and grandparents Dr.Wolf and Dr.Erika,
My sons Kirk and Erik and my younger sister Antje and I all lived together in the beautiful house.

It is at the half 
And the Hammies have not taken a bath 
Due to the rain 
Schedule was changed and that was a pain 
You see the UK had swamps like in Florida 
Delaying the little piggy’s invitation to...Read More

Chelsea was supposed to be on top 
At the half time stop 
But it was M U 
That got one through 
One nil 
As everyone left their seats for a fill 

Hopefully it will change for pensioners in blue 
Since...Read More

Something happened that shook the ground 
The Hammies were victory bound 
Two goals up late in the game 
They thought the words of relegation would be tamed 
Suddenly, the seagulls started to pest 
Not allowing the Hammies a rest 
Finding...Read More

Waiting for bubbles 
Here on the pitch 
Hope there will be no trouble 
From Liverpool being in a winning niche 
Known for being paper back writers 
And always having the attitude of being fighters 
The Reds will have to deal...Read More

To be or not to be that is here the question of ambivalence

	Or is it the answer posed as a dire request

Socrates might have a shot and I don’t mean the soccer player

	Although goal line technology comes to my mind

The Orphan

At a time a young mother and her secrets knew,
that a infant boy in her life where counted days in few.
A priest helped her to put the child into an orphanage he knew,
a Saint Franciscan home with facilities for...Read More

Flood lights are bright 
One more match am I right 
It’s the reds of Liverpool 
And the Wolves who are determined not to be fools 

Soon it will be a weekend break 
With only the England Champions games at stake...Read More

I sit here 
In a place where I have no fear 
Will there be another score? 
Does the crowd want more? 
Chelsea is on top 
While Arsenal should not want to stop 
The cheery contingent wants the action 
And the...Read More

Like Thoreau I sought out Walden’s Pond
For me, it was my grandmother’s field of soybeans
Lost in the bowels of a small gray shed I fancied a cabin
I stumbled on it when I was eight, an explorer, in the summer.

It became...Read More

Where were you last year 
Back in relegation I did hear 
Have your beer with your cheer 
West Ham will level it soon 
Under this Friday Night moon 

Hammies gave it a try 
And it would have worked if someone...Read More

From the moment we became grandparents we have felt conflicted
at the way, in books and media, grandparents are depicted.

But we’ve been grandparents for a while now 
(one grandchild just graduated college)
So we believe it is time to share some grand-parental...Read More

Sixteen-Eighty was brutal on saints and their hissing cats.
A turgid June, thickened as it was by an immature sanguinary wine
failed to quench the civil mob.

Above the birthday cake façade,the pink and cerise porticos,
the heavenly-frocked casements, the stucco -
a tiered sibilance...Read More
