Enigma Weekend Edition Poem: "Pigskin" by Landon Teeter

"Pigskin"
By Landon Teeter

Friday night.
The sky is blank,
the lights are illuminated
the crowd is boisterous
and the players are ready.
The music starts to blare through the speakers.
The team rushes onto the field.
The crowd goes wild.
The first play.
Green 32
Red 13
Ready,
Hike.
The ball snapped.
The ball is thrown
Tipped
Caught.
Touchdown.
Score:
6 to nothing
The noise is deafening.
The team celebrates.
The opponents dejected.
The field goal kicked,
It is

good.
