Soccer Bees
aforbing

Carpooling mini-vans
 1
herald their arrival,
 2
as they descend upon the yet-untouched
 3
terrain with Kindergarten chaos.
 4
Buzzing about the field,
 5
swarming the ground
 6
with wanton abandon, their
 7
yelps of excitement pierce the crisp
 8
Spring air.
 9
      The soccer bees have landed.

kick the title


but cute poem
 — tragicbubble

What a buzz and all those nice dads politely encouraging from the touchline "Play up play up and play the game"
 — larrylark

Oh yes, Larry--you know it.
Soccer Dads RULE.
>>>Tragicbubble:  I appreciate what you're saying.  Any ideas on something else?
I struggled with what I should call this and you busted me on it.
Good catch!!!
What else would be a good title????
Anyone???  Anyone??? &nb sp;Bueler??

hahaha, 'kick the title'. This is what the professor thinks (I asked him.) GET RID OF THE TRASHY LINE BREAKS. move terrain from line 4 up to 3.  move with wanton abandon up to line 6. Move their yelps of excitement pierce the crisp spring air up to line 7. Otherwise it's a really really bad subject that produced a decent poem. I like it it's kind of smily and giggly. :)

Sorry if I always bitch about line breaks; I am not a fan of robot poetry. (anti)Climatic line breaks as I like to call them.

The title is perfect for this!  Soccer bees, which fits because my daughter's team was yellow and black color-wise.

Cute and light, what a relief these days!

Out of my love for soccer and the innocent simplicity of children...this is a wonderful poem.  I love it.

Thank you... I made this in honor of a co-worker and his innate desire to be there to support the bumbling uncoordination of his amateur soccer children.
