GOAL! -- A Soccer Poem

In honor of the World Cup final this weekend (and for Poetry Friday)...


GOAL!
by
Gregory K.

Goal!
Goal!
I scored a goal.
Oh, what a perfect day.
I kicked the ball so hard and true.
Oh, what a perfect play.

Boo?
Boo?
Why would you boo?
This always was my dream:
I shot it past the goalie and...
Oh, he’s on my team.

I wrote the poem, and have now added that info to the post itself (where it was, in fact, missing). All the poems linked to the right on the blog are my originals. Need more info? Check my profile or feel free to e-mail me.

You can use the poem as long as you keep my name as the author and, if appropriate, report where you found the poem. And thanks for asking!

my 9 year old soccer fanatic son just LOVES this poem. Hes been reciting it all night, practicing for being 'poet of the week' in his class- hes made a poster of it *of course keeping your name as auther, added a picture and has to recite it to the class! Hes already got it memorized and laughs to himself every single time! Thanks!
