JOSIE'S POEMS
S p o r t s P o e m s
By Josie Whitehead
IT'S IN YOUR COURT
By Josie Whitehead
Hit a ball or bounce a ball
Or drop it in a net.
Balls can make you jump for joy
Or balls can make you fret.
Strike a ball with hard golf club,
Or with a cricket bat.
Balls are used in friendly games
Or perhaps in fierce combat.
Throw a ball and catch a ball,
Or kick it with your feet:
In sporting games you aim to win
But also face defeat.
Roll a ball along the ground,
Or juggle in the air,
Strike balls upon a table top -
But listen, do take care:
Sporting games can draw you in
In most addictive ways.
But most folk love some kind of sport
To fill their leisure days.

Note: 'It's in your court', or 'The ball's in your court' is an idiom meaning: 'It's
your choice' or 'It's entirely up to you.' I thought it was a good idea to use it as a heading for my poem as it relates to balls which are used in sport - and which sport you prefer is entirely up to you. Do try to make the headings of your own poems interesting in this way. Josie
