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
