Poetry Football Poem by Paul Butters

Poetry Football



As a typer of what might be
Poetry
I am a football manager
With WORDS as my players.

Words in a Deep W Formation -
Total free verse
Hopefully forming a diamond.
No buses parked here
As my words go winging
Down the page.

Not quite five three two
But maybe the odd Haiku
In syllables of five seven five -
For there are far more than eleven syllables
In Poetry.

All writers are the same:
Our words combining
To make meaning,
Passing our visions
Views and feelings
For a crowd of readers
All being well.

Words to be chanted
By crowds enchanted -
Songs for a stadium
That is our united mind.
