Three Poems

What follows are three poems inspired by BBB's math homework. He had to write a poem using number patterns. I showed him how to write a Haiku and he wrote one. Then he wanted to write another, for fun. And another. I'm so happy to share these with you. I hope his teacher loved them. Enjoy!


Football Haiku  
(pattern: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables)

The wide receiver
He's going for the touchdown
Then they go for two



2nd Poem - Baseball
(number pattern: 7 words, 8 words, 7 words)

He hits the ball, then he runs
He tries to beat the throw, Out? Safe!
But wait, he's going for second - Out!



3rd Poem - Black Ops
(number pattern: 6 words, 7 words, 6 words)

He runs, he gets to base
Intruder alert! Incoming! They shoot, glass falls
Ow! Then they break into base
