Only teaching on Tuesdays, book-worming
in pajamas fresh from the washer each morning,
I hog a whole house on Boston's
"hardly passionate Marlborough Street,"
...
I always have liked soccer.
Such a rough game.
Such skills required.
And popular.
...
They all ask me to jump
to invigorate and to play soccer,
to run, to swim and to fly.
Very well.
...
Lark and rose go mad, even with winter
coming on, the garden beneath the verandah blooms,
the park is dense with sun and soccer balls.
By lark I mean generic bird, God knows
...
Apprehension of the unknown,
In the atmosphere of bar room tension,
Men sitting on long stools, with no time for fools,
On the counter, pint glasses full and half full,
...
I love you more than my old soccer cleats,
The ones I’ll never give up.
I love you more than the perfect field,
The one I use to warm up.

Away from everyday chaos
Where time flew in a blur
From mundane endeavours
Caging our souls

She gets out there and hustles
She does her very best
It’s all about the teamwork
And winning is her quest
...
Spring wafts up the smell of bus exhaust, of bread
and fried potatoes, tips green on the branches,
repeats old news: arrogance, ignorance, war.
A cinder-block wall shared by two houses
...
You can take your golf and the rolling greens
You tennis with manicured courts neat and clean
Your soccer, your swimming, your basketball scene -
None measure up to............FOOTBALL!
...
We chased
yesterday’s news
all over
...
Of course
those who are standing at the top of the stairs
know
they know everything

after practice: right foot
to left foot, stepping forward and back,
to right foot and left foot,
and left foot up to his thigh, holding
...
The £10,000 a week defender can’t quite
catch the £20,000 striker who's got
the ball at his nimble, expensive feet, the stadium yelling
fit to raise the roof – what does he do? why,
...
War is a bleeding game of dice
Soccer: played without a goal post
...
I played goalkeeper.
I coached high school soccer teams:
I lost interest.
...
I came to the cemetery in the hazy heat of autumn,
where the crosses creak as they split,
to my grandmother-Maria Iosefovna-
and bought flowers at the gate.
...
Ron, you were to me all a brother could be,
your friendship and memory will always be a part of me. The happy days we spent together are gone, forever lost in time,
but the memories will linger, they will always be mine.
When I was young you used to take me to the flicks, on our way home you would buy me fish and chips, and Ron the times you fixed my tie for school
...
The deafening roars
Promising faces chanting ‘Singapore, Singapore, Singapore'
Was the acute scene
At the National Stadium where matches to be seen
...
You were not called for your service,
As you were already retired
From Thai Navy;
But your conscience,
...
friendly and kind
was murdered in the
parkade of the suburban mall
when the thug assaulted the

They left before the end
The game is not for over
They had to leave the field

What a wild wind today
in Wimbledon Park,
80 mph they say,
mischievous, shameless,

For most of us in Kerala,
soccer is our religion, nothing less;
do not dare to argue with us on
our soccer heroes, you risk your life!
...
You are a great friend
A best friend
I’ll be there when the tears start to fall
And the rays of sunshine hits
...
Your days are spun with a golden thread and lots of fun,
You have an engaging smile like the natural warmth of the sun,
The light of your constant energy with your active mind so bright
In the darkness you shine like a lone spotlight,
...
So this was it. I'd passed through years ago
as a hitch-hiker, spinning out our 25 pounds
max allowance, over three hot weeks of France
until I was sick of tough-skinned monster tomatoes
...
What a great day for me today
Everything were fine I felt terribly happy
My girlfriend confessed that she loves me
I hold my cup and drink my green tea
...
Her map of the world is different than mine
there is no north south east or west
everything is centered in Middle-Earth
and all things had some similar priority.

KIck me again
And watch me deflate-
A once new soccer ball
Promised fair play,

Unfortunately PH 'chooses' to SOMETIMES make it impossible [FOR ME AT LEAST] to submit a poem comment to show up on a poem's page. BUT Bri has some tricks up his (my)sleeve to pass along to you all:

So they burged in,
In a house in Richardsbay.
Tiptoeing like cats,
Armed to the tooth.

Arthel,
Tonight, I'm thinking of you,
Soft music fills the air,
And as tears fills my eyes,
...
The paths of bricks and stones surround my city life
The cold of winter could not touch me still on the Cheragi Hill
No smoldering or bonfire I need here to warm my skin
Less time I watch the TV program, not fond of the world soccer
...
My mom is very sweet and always caring.
She worries about me when I am in school.
She makes sure that I get where I am going
On time so that I don't feel like a fool.

Today’s News said fans tore a referee to pieces.
I wonder if they tore..... along the ref’s creases.
But it wasn’t just random fanatic-fan strife,
since the ref first killed the fans’ player..... with a knife.

I learned not only from those
who brightly beam out of golden frames,
but from everyone whose ID photo
didn't come out quite right.

Nothing can separate you from me

At every street corner a vice

February on the narrow beach, 3o
A.M. I set out south. Cape Cod Light
on its crumbling cliff above me turns
its wand of light so steadily
...
Thinking of winning somehow, players play game;
Tension builds up as if waiting for time to blow bomb;
To the last the tough game goes on in tension long;
Cricket, hokey, soccer and rugby games all see so!

Assignment taken as a last resort—
with leaving early then commuting far—
a school not known for academics—
then asked to take another teacher's classes.

Soccer
no small wonder!
Small wonder yet

How do you win a football game? Not by skill alone or clever plays,
in modern days the game has changed and subterfuge and actors
ways will pave the path to glory. Fitness pays a fair reward to keep

The adrenaline.
The excitement.
The energy.
It surrounded the field.

It was a cool, overcast and windy Sunday afternoon in March 2014. We were about 50 miles from Paris, at my Grandmère's (grandmother's) farm. She lives in Paris, but she owns a Château and surrounding 1,100-hectare farm that she calls her 'fall retreat.'
Between three and five hundred people work on the farm, the Château and its surrounding shops (some work is seasonal) . The shops sell wool, cheese, wine and ice cream produced on the farm, as well as touristy things. Many of the employees live on the farm, rent free. Their homes, owned by the farm, form a hameau (village) . I didn't understand much of this at the time, I was 10 years old.
