Basketball
By: Cyrus


Ten players.
One ball.
One dream.
One court.
One game.
This is the champs

We have made it to the Champs.
With all of our players.
This is our game,
the game we play to accomplish “our” dream.
This is the game we play on our home court.

Theres two quarters left to try to win our dream.
If were we are going to be champs,
then we need to work hard on the court.
We need a sub for another player.
The ref hands the player the ball.
The ball is thrown in, to start back up the game.

We are in the last quarter in the game.
The basket didn’t count that could be the end of the dream.
A timeout is called as it goes up and in goes the ball.
Time is almost left and that shot could cost us the championship.
As our team walks off there is madness left on the court.

Timeout is over we walk back on the court.
We start back up the game.
The ball is passed in and down the court goes the players.
The ball goes up and in it counts we still might win our dream.
We might be more than runner ups we could be champs.
The other team throws up and in goes the ball.

In bounds comes the ball,
The game is focused back on he court.
The last shot goes up it is by us we are the champs.
This is the end of a hard might it was our games.
We all walk off the court.
We are all more than people we are hard and tough players.

As we all walk off the court I run back to get the game ball.
I came to the locker room to celebrate with the rest of my players.
As we are on our way home we can say we are the champs.

  1. Hey Cyrus. I really love basketball and the poem makes it sound like a really intense game. Yesturday in b-ball practice we had to run back and forth across the gym 19 times because thats how many times we dropped the ball. Have you had to run that many???
