Best Soccer Poems

I always have liked soccer.
Such a rough game.
Such skills required.
And popular.
...

Only teaching on Tuesdays, book-worming
in pajamas fresh from the washer each morning,
I hog a whole house on Boston's
"hardly passionate Marlborough Street,"
...

They all ask me to jump
to invigorate and to play soccer,
to run, to swim and to fly.
Very well.
...

Lark and rose go mad, even with winter
coming on, the garden beneath the verandah blooms,
the park is dense with sun and soccer balls.
By lark I mean generic bird, God knows
...

Apprehension of the unknown,
In the atmosphere of bar room tension,
Men sitting on long stools, with no time for fools,
On the counter, pint glasses full and half full,
...

She gets out there and hustles
She does her very best
It’s all about the teamwork
And winning is her quest
...

I love you more than my old soccer cleats,
The ones I’ll never give up.
I love you more than the perfect field,
The one I use to warm up.
...

Away from everyday chaos
Where time flew in a blur
From mundane endeavours
Caging our souls
...

Spring wafts up the smell of bus exhaust, of bread
and fried potatoes, tips green on the branches,
repeats old news: arrogance, ignorance, war.
A cinder-block wall shared by two houses
...

We chased
yesterday’s news

all over
...

You can take your golf and the rolling greens
You tennis with manicured courts neat and clean
Your soccer, your swimming, your basketball scene -
None measure up to............FOOTBALL!
...

Of course
those who are standing at the top of the stairs
know
they know everything
...

A clock
...ticks.

A vase
...

after practice: right foot
to left foot, stepping forward and back,
to right foot and left foot,
and left foot up to his thigh, holding
...

The £10,000 a week defender can’t quite
catch the £20,000 striker who's got
the ball at his nimble, expensive feet, the stadium yelling
fit to raise the roof – what does he do? why,
...

War is a bleeding game of dice

Soccer: played without a goal post
...

I played goalkeeper.
I coached high school soccer teams:
I lost interest.
...

I came to the cemetery in the hazy heat of autumn,
where the crosses creak as they split,
to my grandmother-Maria Iosefovna-
and bought flowers at the gate.
...

Ron, you were to me all a brother could be,
your friendship and memory will always be a part of me. The happy days we spent together are gone, forever lost in time,
but the memories will linger, they will always be mine.
When I was young you used to take me to the flicks, on our way home you would buy me fish and chips, and Ron the times you fixed my tie for school
...

The deafening roars
Promising faces chanting ‘Singapore, Singapore, Singapore'
Was the acute scene
At the National Stadium where matches to be seen
...

You were not called for your service,
As you were already retired
From Thai Navy;
But your conscience,
...

friendly and kind
was murdered in the
parkade of the suburban mall
when the thug assaulted the
...

They left before the end
The game is not for over
They had to leave the field
...

What a wild wind today
in Wimbledon Park,
80 mph they say,
mischievous, shameless,
...

For most of us in Kerala,
soccer is our religion, nothing less;
do not dare to argue with us on
our soccer heroes, you risk your life!
...

You are a great friend
A best friend
I’ll be there when the tears start to fall
And the rays of sunshine hits
...

Your days are spun with a golden thread and lots of fun,
You have an engaging smile like the natural warmth of the sun,
The light of your constant energy with your active mind so bright
In the darkness you shine like a lone spotlight,
...

What a great day for me today
Everything were fine I felt terribly happy
My girlfriend confessed that she loves me
I hold my cup and drink my green tea
...

Her map of the world is different than mine
there is no north south east or west
everything is centered in Middle-Earth
and all things had some similar priority.
...

KIck me again
And watch me deflate-
A once new soccer ball
Promised fair play,
...

My PH friends and other members:

Unfortunately PH 'chooses' to SOMETIMES make it impossible [FOR ME AT LEAST] to submit a poem comment to show up on a poem's page. BUT Bri has some tricks up his (my)sleeve to pass along to you all:
...

So they burged in,
In a house in Richardsbay.
Tiptoeing like cats,
Armed to the tooth.
...

Arthel,
Tonight, I'm thinking of you,
Soft music fills the air,
And as tears fills my eyes,
...

The paths of bricks and stones surround my city life
The cold of winter could not touch me still on the Cheragi Hill
No smoldering or bonfire I need here to warm my skin
Less time I watch the TV program, not fond of the world soccer
...

My mom is very sweet and always caring.
She worries about me when I am in school.
She makes sure that I get where I am going
On time so that I don't feel like a fool.
...

Today’s News said fans tore a referee to pieces.
I wonder if they tore..... along the ref’s creases.

But it wasn’t just random fanatic-fan strife,
since the ref first killed the fans’ player..... with a knife.
...

I learned not only from those
who brightly beam out of golden frames,
but from everyone whose ID photo
didn't come out quite right.
...

a ball lover
is our god
a soccer player
he is

(Grand Evangelical Mission,10th of May 2009, Agro Football Field, Davao City, commemorating the 123rd birth anniversary of Ka Felix Y. Manalo, God's last messenger)


Throngs of believers and non-believers
...

I found you at an early age
Took you under my wings...
My joy, my love, is you
Nothing can separate you from me
...

In the glory of the gloaming-green soccer
field her team, the Gladiators, is losing
...

It was more beard than anything else
In poetry they converged, varied in age
...

There was only a note
on the living room door,
and in lipgloss she wrote
'I can't take it no more.'
...

Maradona, who mesmerised the world with his
Magnificent game of football,
Adored by millions of fans,
Admired world over for his skill and brilliance,
...

As world super powers threaten war
As world super powers prepare for war
As they assemble their weapons of mass destruction
As they test the might of their weapons
...

i want to go back to my childhood

where my father was my only hero
...

One …two…one…two
Follow me as I take you on a journey back to my hood
Pay attention to the heart beat of the street
At every street corner a vice
...

February on the narrow beach, 3o
A.M. I set out south. Cape Cod Light
on its crumbling cliff above me turns
its wand of light so steadily
...

Thinking of winning somehow, players play game;
Tension builds up as if waiting for time to blow bomb;
To the last the tough game goes on in tension long;
Cricket, hokey, soccer and rugby games all see so!
...

Soccer
no small wonder!

Small wonder yet
...

When we talk about movies
i like comedies, dramas, westerns,
adventures, sci-fi, animations
...

How do you win a football game? Not by skill alone or clever plays,
in modern days the game has changed and subterfuge and actors
ways will pave the path to glory. Fitness pays a fair reward to keep
...

The adrenaline.
The excitement.
The energy.
It surrounded the field.
...

What if Cinderella wasn’t a princess
But the advertiser of a new flavored jellybean
What if Snow White wasn’t pretty
But the ugliest hag ever seen
...

300 wear a mask weeps bitterly roams about farmer

in a soccer game, meant for fun.
She's so tough and fearless, at times.
So small and fragile, at others.

Crafted by combination

We were in the cafeteria, having just sat down with our trays. The place, which looks like a modern, medium sized ski lodge, was almost empty. I'm registering more and more faces these days. Most are transient acquaintances from the dorm or classes. There were nods. My little group was my roommate, Leong, myself and a girl named Lucy from our chemistry class. Lucy can solve a chemical equation faster than either of us - she calls herself an idiot savant.

Lucy's one of those overwrought girls who don't believe food is necessary for survival and who stare anxiously at blueberries. Lucy's tray has a spoon, a napkin and one small, plain yogurt on it. I got salmon, a bit of Pad Thai, a slice of pizza and some desert. You could feed a family of four from my tray. I always sit with my back to windows - it's a glare avoidance thing.
