First Semester portfolio- favorite piece

My favorite piece was the one that I wrote myself this year in the first quarter. The name of this poem is , " The Metrodome ". This is my favorite poem because it is about the sights, sounds and feelings in the Metrodome. I got this idea when I was thinking about my trips to see the Minnesota Twins play baseball and the Minnesota Vikings play football. So I thought, " What a great place to write about", so i did.

The Metrodome

The American flag waves proudly in the air
as the national anthem comes on
I adore the succulent dome dogs in my mouth
The cheesy nachos are delightful too
My favorite is the chilled chocolate ice cream
I love the sound of baseballs hitting the gloves
The players running like zooming bullets
The homeruns cracking, the fans gawking
Most of the people in the grandstands
Are all filled with excitement and happiness
The yelling fans are all cheering up on their feet
Rooting for their favorite team
The ball explodes into the white ceiling and every player on the loses sight
Then with a thud the ball comes down like an asteroid to earth
Then the well played game comes sadly to an end
As we all wave good bye to the beloved Metrodome and hope to see it again sometime soon
