The Good Ol' Hockey Game
A tribute to the greatest sport in the entire world
True heaven on ice
Watching such an awesome sport
Gives me true comfort
* * *
Five-on-five combat
Players working day by day
To win and succeed
* * *
Forwards fire shots
Defensemen protect the line
Goalies stop the puck
* * *
Eighty-two tough games
A long journey to success
With bumps on the road
* * *
Unpredictable
Fast-paced, wild, and chaotic
Absolutely cool
* * *
A six-month journey
And after everything's done
There's still one more goal
* * *
The ultimate prize
Two months of blood, sweat, and tears
For the holy grail
* * *
When one team remains
Is it worth the intense pain?
The answer is, "yes!"
* * *
A great spectacle
Truly nothing compares to
The game of hockey

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

i used to watch the Bruin. At that point they won most of their games. It was exciting. It was fun reading this poem
I come from a hockey family so I understand your love for the sport.
Educative piece of well-written poetry Clyde.
