DF+The+Big+Wrap+up

Sports are competition, this is shown by my three poems which include basketball, football and baseball. In each poems competition is displayed by the author writing about the tension and anticipation in each sport. Whether it is boxing out a player to grab a rebound or getting up to bat for your team with a chance to win the game; and even if it's winning your gambling pool at a Superbowl party competition is a central theme in the poems I have chosen. The authors use different techniques to engaged the reader. For example, the emotions of the fans in "Mighty Casey has struck out". The "social setting of a Superbowl party in "Superbowl Fun". Finally, the physical description of the work involved in getting a rebound from "The Shot", including the naming of current players. All of this relates back to the competition theme of these three poems.
