Poetry: Basketball

by Jacob Carvalho

Created on: August 18, 2009

Miracle

It's the fourth quarter and we trail by 1

Time is running out for our hopes to win are slight

All we need is a basket, just 1 basket

The ball is inbounded and I dribble it up

I move left I move right with players all around me

They have me double covered but I am too good

5 seconds left I must get off a shot

So I crossover and throw a miracle towards the hoop

The seconds pass like hours as the ball soars

The horn goes off to signal the end of the game

It bounces off the rim, and it's too quiet to stand

Then it goes in,

We have won a miracle.
