The Broken Trophy
The Broken Trophy
Submitted in 2010/05 for Grade 7 English at Stanley Park Senior Public School, Kitchener, ON, CAN
One game,
Two teams,
One loser,
One champion,
The home team scores first,
The crowd is excited,
Away team scores next,
The tension is rising,
The visitors score again,
But the 6,807 anxious fans keep watching,
Another goal for the guests,
The arena is silent,
With no goalie in net,
And the bitter smell of defeat in the air,
The game is put away with one more goal,
So close,
One game,
Three goals,
Frustration,
Defeat,
Shame,
Broken dreams,
Broken trophy.
