As I crouch down
Waiting for the pitch.
The bases are loaded.
The pitch comes.
It’s a high one.
And I miss it.
The guy on 3rd base runs home.
I grab the ball and run too.
I get there first.
He slides.
And his foot hits my glove.
The umpire calls him out!
My team runs in from the field.
And we celebrate.
-Nathan
I go out in to the field,
it’s the bottom of the sixth
there are two outs
and the bases are loaded
and we’re up.
Their best hitter is up for bat,
he smacks the ball
and it heads straight for me!
I quickly put up my glove
and the next thing I know
the ball is in my glove,
we’ve won the game!
-Jack V.
As I walk out the door,
I smell the summer air.
Mulberry essence fills the air,
with delight.
As I walk down the hill,
I feel the grass poke-up
between my toes.
As the rain settles in,
I know
it’s going to be
a perfect day.
-Jerry
