Concacaf Gold Cup Poem by P.A. NOUSHAD (SHOMSI)

Feast for the eyes
ever enchanting pictures
around the football
rotating and revolving
till gets the ball in the net
oozes through the goalkeeper
amazing moments
to keep in our bosoms
US, Mexico, Canada, Panama, Cuba,
Trinidad and Tobago, El Salvador...
sweats and sweets
golden cup and laughs
golden letters in the pages
thrilling pictures
we wait for you dear,
