The Saint Of Barcelona Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan

The Saint Of Barcelona

Rating: 4.3


The Vatican
Should fast-track
The canonization
Of Lionel Andrés

The Webster
Should spell
The word wizardry:
M-E-S-S-I

This
Saint of Barcelona
Flaunting
Boots of Lightning
Rules Planet Football

His deftly feet
Defy the physics
Of curvature
And gravity

The Messiah
Has finally arrived
And his name is
Lionel Andrés Messi

Govind, you captured my attention with the title. You had me in suspense throughout the poem. And then that marvelous surprise ending. Great job!
