I threw a baseball into the air. If fell to Earth I know not where. And so you see, I can't explain What happened to your window pane.
You can check out the Poetry Friday roundup over at the wonderful A Year of Reading. For more baseball poetry (hey... there was a perfect game tossed yesterday, so baseball's on my mind!), hope on over to Bardball.

Love the idea of baseball poetry. And there has to be a poem in that 9th inning center field catch to save the perfect game. Maybe I'll try that for next week! By the way, I'm a life long White Sox fan.
Huh, Mary Lee - I relied on ESPN for this, as I happened to be watching at the right time, and have no favorite online link for you. I guess I'll just go with ESPN:
Author Amok - cool about the Fib! And thanks for the kind note!
And Jim - baseball poetry rocks (there are a few on this blog, actually, as it's a fave topic of mine). And congrats on having something fab to cheer about as a White Sox fan!

Tonight we’re at a baseball game: The minors (double A). But I don’t care! it’s me and Dad - My siblings stayed away! My soda couldn’t be more flat. My Cracker Jacks taste old. The peanut vendor never came. My hot dog caught a cold. But Dad and I are having fun. In fact, it’s quite a blast. We’re talking, laughing, telling tales As innings move on past. He tells my why he loves the game, Each hit, each out, each run. I tell him why I don’t like math. He says "Like Dad, like son." I tell him that I had a crush, How weak it made my knees. He tells me how he met my mom And when to try a squeeze. I ask about a stolen base And why folks like to dance. He tells me tales of baseball greats And all about romance. Dreams, home runs, and silly jokes – They all come up, and more. Tonight we’re at a baseball game... And we’re not keeping score.

Also, it's Poetry Friday! Kelly Polark is hosting over at her blog, and you can click here for the roundup post. Go on over and check out what else is going on, poetically, in the Kidlitosphere today....
I love this one, Greg!! Thanks for sharing it. And to anyone else reading, it's definitely worth signing up to receive these poems by email. I don't know when I'll get to my regular blog reading today, but this poem brightened up my inbox.
Thanks, y'all. I find I can write about baseball (and other sports, actually) a whole heckuva a lot. Glad others see that they're not just poems about the sports specifically!
I'm posting an original poem each day in April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and I post all year round, because poetry is NOT just for April!) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".

How about a link to your favorite news article about the perfect game? (please)
Love the poem! I'll have to check out your fibs -- I included one in my new MG novel in verse.

Love this poem.
