Bestowed for two male generations.
Snug upon my head.
I beam with glee.
Dusty, ancient, resembling tradition.

My pride like anger, boiling too hot.
Men watch the game like devotion to church.

Yelling sirens in the middle of the night
Pound my eardrums until they bleed.
It’s war, golden with victory.
It’s only game over when I die.

The author's comments:
This is an imagery poem, written from a male perspective. It shows how crazed people can get when watching sports. I hope everyone can see that!
