My Sport

When the ball hits my foot,

I smile.

The black and white spins

on for miles. 

I shoot for the goal,

and miss by a lot.

Coach tells me to shoot for the goal,

not the parking lot.

I shoot again,

this one comes a little nearer.

Coach tells me it was a nice shot,

I should be a little clearer.

Once more do I kick the ball,

and this one goes straight in. 

Coach tells me it was amazing,

and I feel my grin.

This is my sport,

the one that I love.

The one that makes me stronger, 

and helps me learn.

This is my sport, 

the one that fits like a glove.

The one that I want to play longer,

and the one for which I yearn.

Soccer.

What do you think of the rhymes? Do they make sense or does it seem like I was just trying to rhyme random words?

Your rhymes really do make sense. I can tell your love for the game too. Personally, I have never been very athletic but I admire those who are. Sports of any kind isn't just a game but hard work! You did well!
