And The Crowd Boos

Posted byauthorstewPosted inpoetryTags:, , ,
The Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. Photographer unkown. 
They come into the dome
A game of great consequence
The crowd abuzz
Electricity fills the air
I sit with you
Full of nervous energy
The home team up
Two outs
I bend the knee
Strike three!
And the crowd boos
She said yes

This is for a dVerse prompt: “Don’t be bamboozled. Just scare us up a poem of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word boo.”

It’s playoff baseball time here in Toronto and the city is buzzing with the Blue Jays winning. So it played into the poem today. Hope you enjoy!
