Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #104
The Disappointed Fan
by Belinda Roddie
The disappointed fan morosely walked
back to his apartment after his team
lost yet another game to their rivals
by a huge score - sixteen to one, in fact
(How could they allow so many home runs?).
When the fan went inside, he stared at the
many posters and pennants that he had
collected through the years. He knew he would
never turn to another team to feel
better. He had to stay devoted to
the group of baseball stars who had swept the
World Series twice in a decade. He pressed
a hand to his jersey. He couldn't shame
the team this year. He'd just enjoy the game.
