This is a poem about last night’s hockey game, or is it?
Last Night’s Hockey Game
I saw a hockey game last night
It was there that I saw the fight
The one that some saw as a brawl
While others stated, “It’s part of the game after all.”
I saw a hockey game last night
And it made me wonder
Yes I know we have come a long way
But the crowd cheered and the noise felt like thunder.
There were punches
And there was blood.
And the “settling of the score”
And some in the crowd wanted more.
I saw a hockey game once
Perhaps it was played in my mind.
I thought it was played right
I think it took place somewhere outside of time.
Maybe it has yet to happen… I don’t know
Perhaps it happened a long time ago.
And they played for the game
For the love of stick and puck in a having fun domain.
It was hockey and that I’m sure
There was skating on ice and speed
And shots that hit the nets
And the cheers came from the players’ silhouettes.
I saw a fight today
On the internet and it took place not far away.
It happened in a school yard they said
The two wanted to “settle the score”, is what I read.
I saw a hockey game last night
It was there I saw the fight.
The one that some saw as a brawl
While others stated, “It’s part of the game after all.”
