Baseball
jaxson hocutt. 1986 (usa)
The ball flies by nearly missing my face
I hope I can hit it,
and make it to home base.
I clench my bat firmly and spread my legs apart,
One, Two, Three bams!
the ball hits the bat.
Nearly spooking my heart,
I race to the plate,
closely I almost missed it,
but I made it safely, so smooth and so swift
