I wonder are they good enough? Perhaps it’s just a futile dream; They have to be of winning stuff To be a first class champions team. Perhaps it’s just a futile dream? The waiting fans ask nothing less. To be a first class champions team Takes dedication and finesse. The waiting fans ask nothing less. But sheer perfection on the field Takes dedication and finesse, A fortitude that will not yield. But sheer perfection on the field Requires a modicum of chance, A fortitude that will not yield To importunate circumstance. That minor modicum of chance, No fouls or forfeits to be paid To importunate circumstance. Our team at last may make the grade. No fouls or forfeits to be paid. They have to be of winning stuff. Our team at last may make the grade; I wonder? Are they good enough? A. |

What a great piece here "A"!
 I love your rhyme scheme and the tale told well here! Certainly makes one wonder about teamwork and being on the 'winning team'. In my work, this would be a wonderful poem to display proudly, we always strive to have the 'can do' attititude....and strive toward the winning edge. Well done! I've not yet read this form of poetry!  Cheers! ~Cleo

I know that this is in Seasonal Works. We Rugby Union fanatics are deep in the midst of the World Cup A season of goodwill to all nations and a hymn to the cream of Welsh Rugby. All we have to do now is beat the English, the Australians and the New Zealand All Blacks. Cymru am Byth.  A. |
