The beautiful game

It’s a beautiful day to play soccer
The weather is perfect it feels so proper

Prepping for the game I sit and ponder
What would I do without soccer

I’d be such a sad little miserable boy
Soccer brings many people so much joy

Soccer is emotions and feeling and more
The beautiful game is way more then just a score

Glowstick Tree

Barely a stump now
poking out from a pool of trimmed grass
but I’m not processing this
because my eyelids are surfing over a canvas
painted black, splattered whites, blooming hues of rainbow
Snap! Pop!
“Come on,” whooped a boy I don’t recognize. “Let’s go put our lights under the big tree!”
