[hometext] => This was my opinion on cricket a year ago- not meaning to offend cricketers of course..
[bodytext] => Cricket Clutching onto a cricket bat Grasping on for dear life Watching in dread as the enemy Draws their arm back with ease Breaking into a run- Pace after pace Stride after stride Time has slowed down to a trickle. Sweat slips down your nose Your hands greasy with fear People are calling, shrieking- But all you hear is silence. Eternity has passed in a second You struggle to remember it all All that your PE teacher has told you ‘Strike the ball with this side’ ‘Stand this way’ ‘Step forward with this foot’ ‘Watch the ball’ ‘Don’t hit it too early’ ‘Don’t hit it too late’ But everything clouds into confusion Slipping from your memory Disappearing- As easily as water escapes a cupped hand. The ball begins to soar through the air Hurtling dangerously on the wind toward you You raise your bat in hope that somehow, It will make contact- CRACK You swing the bat with all your strength The ball sailing across the pitch But you don’t stop to look. You begin to sprint, adrenaline pumping Again and again Over and over Around the cone without pausing Until the whistle is blown- It was the end of the game The finish… And your team had won. Cricket- No big deal.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
