Poems about Sports
Students - on Sunday, I wrote about the seasons and how writing ideas can come from the seasons right outside our window. Well, sports have their own seasons too. In our family, the main sport children play outside of school is baseball and softball. Last spring, I wrote these baseball poems, mostly sitting right along the sidelines of practices and games.
That's something to think about. Writing in different places allows us to truly observe a game, an animal, or a place in action. When we get away from our desks and watch the world, we will see things that might not appear during desk-time.
