Poetry on the racquetball court
Here’s a poem by Brave Writer student, Ivy, to enjoy with your Poetry Teatime:
Racquetball
by Ivy (age 11)
a bounce and a thunk
a person falls
it’s an injury
in racquetball
the racket clanks
against the wall
this isn’t like a trip
to the south end mall
not too tight
not too light
or you’ll end up
with one black eye
a nice firm grip
a nicer swing
if it isn’t that
you’ll end in a sling
so always pretend
your home sick in bed
there’s lots of hope
in a sore forehead
