Soccer
Thunk! My feet connect with the ball,
sending it to the opposite side of the field.
the opponents side, it lands, thunk!
In front of my teammates’ feet.
Dribble, dribble. Around defense
Whoosh! Into the goal!
We yell and give high fives!
The whistle blows, and we’re off again.
I steal the ball from the offense,
Thwack! Right to Maddy who passes
It to Alyssa and back to Maddy
Who shoots past the goalie’s head and scores.
The Rules? No fouling! Bumping and shoving
Or hitting, not hands. 8 players including
Keeper, Lots of kicking,
The game of soccer
