Yahtzee: My Poem: Mean Pitch: Gen
May. 26th, 2021 04:06 pmTitle: Mean Pitch
Poetic form: English sonnet
Number of Lines: 14
Word Count: 99
Rating: Gen
Prompt: mean
Summary: a sonnet about an abandoned football/soccer field [inspired by photo below]
it’s a mean pitch. it’s lacking distinction
from fields abandoned only by faint line
it’s dull and almost worn to extinction
by discrimination like turpentine
it’s a mean pitch. contemptible and poor,
of sparse and spartan grass, of no regard,
its scars, by undignified force majeure,
are old, common, dishonorable, hard
fresh teams of evil might’ve played there once
so long ago no one remembers well
spikes scourging soil while all the world played dunce
and tournaments were held at hell’s own hell
it’s a mean pitch. a dead deserted pyre
where hangs a rusted whistle on barbed wire.
