Basketball (For Devyn) Poem by Tasha Miller

In a world of football
and baseball, too,
basketball,
is all I want to do.

I would play football,
if Mom would permit.
But she can’t stand
to see me take a hit.

But Mom loves basketball
and so do I.
I love it, live it,
I want to fly.

You should see,
what I did today!
I am going all the way,
to the NBA.

Right now, I’m still growing,
I have growing pains.
But it will be worth it,
I’m the next Lebraun James.
