The King of Diamond
Baseball - an exciting sport that gets you moving!
The King of DiamondBy Carrie A. Golden Dirt and grass surround me as the warm breeze and salty sweat Slither on my skin Standing home with my wooden bat Firmly in hands I wait for the enemy on the mound To fire his best shot Fading into the background The cheers and jeers of fans and players As the rhythmic beats of my heart Echo through my head I plant both feet into the red sand
And ready both body and bat for the round, white object of nightmares and Whoosh! The enemy on the mound fires the ball Crack! As it connects with my faithful bat The world then explodes With the glorious music of whoops and chants As I make my victorious lap around the field of diamond Towards home, towards my hooting teammates Life is sweet and so is baseball The king of all sports. © 2011 - Carrie A.
