The Game
A vast memory of my childhood (Pure joy and excitement
Miles away from any stress
The game of the decade
Stars performing at their best!)
هدف! هدف! Goal! Goal!
What?!
The opposite team had scored (Who would win the game?
Madrid won the last
Barca is stronger
Passion will be the decider)
نصف الوقت! Half Time!
Anticipation raised
Shouts and cheers
Silence broken
Nerves in the air
But we wait (Restlessness took over as
Dreams filed my head
Goals from Barca
I prayed they won)
تستأنف اللعبة! The game resumes!
My heart froze, my mind raced (Could they lose?
Is this the end?
No, they have to
Win!
They have to)
No more goals
No more cheers
No more laughs
Only silence filled the air
خمس دقائق متبقية! Five Minutes Left!
A last second goal
The final whistle
Cheers and whoops
We had done it once more
A victory to remember

This poem was meant to emulate Juan Felipe Herrera. The reason I chose this poet was because he writes in many different styles, not just one. He has written poems in lists, with large amounts of white space and some with no white space at all. He likes to use brackets to give hidden meaning and uses different types of punctuation to give his poems meaning. I like his poems since he can make poems light and funny or deep and meaningful, to give a stronger message/meaning. This makes almost all of his poems largly differnt from one another.
