    Fan-fanatic 2009

    The basketball game is on
    Where is dad ?
    Dont bother him

    She enters the room
    Basketball, baseball,football
    Dad play ball with me
    No! he`s glued to the tube

    I hate you dad
    He only cares for his sports
    Every season without a good reason
    Dont bother dad

    The ball is in the air
    He shoots it up and in
    and through the rim

    The way i see it No score!
    only a smirk from row 4
    Then jack yells out with no style
    Technical foul

    Dad only sees what he wants to see
    but does not see me

    Dad sitting in his shorts
    As i cry out
    I will never marry
    A man whose
    First love is sports !

    Wow. I like this poem its like seeing it from another side. I think you did a great job. Its very rare to read a poem written like this. You can feel how that person feels. Good use of descriptions in your words.

    I love the fact that you made this from a daughters point of view instead of a son. It has a deep meaning and sends a strong message of the resentment that can be put to a person when they depend more on television then on people that mean so much more.

    its interesting where you dont quite see at first that its from a daughter's point of view however it then makes me wonder what would cause you to write this,its pointful that so many people get engrossed into one thing or another so bad that we forget about the important things

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
