Haiku Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Haiku Take Me Out to the Ballgame

A summer pastime

Take me out to the ballgame

Five dollar hotdogs

 

 

 

Seats high in the stands

Cincinnati Red Sox here

Need binoculars

 

 

 

Peanuts crackerjacks

Stadium children’s’ staples

Bought by the boxes

 

 

 

Babe Ruth hits homeruns

Dad’s tales of old time baseball

Roger and Mickey

 

 

 

We hear from the stands

Batter, batter, Swing Batter

And it is strike one

 

 

 

A pitching good day

It’s one, two, three strikes you’re out

Red Sox up to bat

 

 

 

 

Each side needs to win

The ninth inning zip to zip

World Series or bust

 

 

 

 

Pitcher takes the mound

Sends signals to the catcher

Wind up, taking aim

 

 

 

 

The batter stands tall

Waiting for the perfect pitch

Crack! It’s a base hit

 

 

 

Two batters hit hard

Grounders are hit to the fence

Bases are loaded

 

 

 

Hear the crowd roar

Fourth batter comes to the plate

Wow, it’s a Grand Slam

 

 

 

Standing ovation

Teammates waiting to slap hands

All batters come home

 

 

 

Three up and three down

Pitcher pitched a no hitter

Red Sox victory

 

 

 

A boy and his dad

Watching professional ball

Father and son bond

 

 

 

His heart beating fast

Boy remembers this day

It’s a Big League dream
