Baseball

My favorite sport

The game of baseball

Is poetry in motion

The back kick on the pitcher on  the mound

The release of the ball through the air 

Batter swings

and misses

Ball into the catcher's mitt

The crack of the bat as ball hits

Bat splinters into dozens of pieces

Ball sails through the air into center field

It's a hit!

It's a double!

Runner reaches second base

Waiting for the next batter to come to home plate

He watches to see what he should do next.

No outs

Baserunner hears the crack of the bat. 

Watches the ball fly over his head.

Darn, it has been caught!

And so it goes till one team is the victor in nine innings
