Hockey Is

The Glory

 

Hockey is ,

a goal,

a mission.

 

Hockey is,

my heart,

my condition.

 

Hockey is,

a gamble,

a roll of the dice.

 

Hockey is,

a commitment,

and self sacrifice.

 

Hockey is,

my life,

my pride.

 

Hockey is,

my passion,

with nothing to hide.

 

Hockey is,

my breath,

my story.

 

Without it,

no goals,

no glory.

Sometimes is fun to go for old writing. This is caught my eye cause it's sound like chant for your favorite team. I also like rhyming cause it gives very good flow. I am actually also from country where hockey is second national sport that first one is drinking beer. At winter time you can see on every frozen pound playing kids. Actually i never played hockey i am more passive type. I quiet enjoyed this.

Well put together for random thoughts. I am a hockey spectator so I appreciate the player's point of view. Nicely done!

Riveting, ice chipping, free flowing, and the hockey pock glides across the ice from Lawrence's mind to his penn to the net for a SCORE....GREAT POEM MY FRIEND!

Hockey is a sport because of your book I can appreciate lol... This was a nice piece. Any word on that cover. Can't wait to see it. This piece should be put on a bookmark to hand out with your books it would be a nice companion to it.

oh my god!
I simply thought that the rhyming was a very cool touch!
It was very good, and I loved it. (even if i don't like hockey but i do watch it like once a month..lol)
Anyways, this was very good, so keep up the great work, 'cause I'll be reading some more of your work :]
Awesome!
