Stlsports is pleased to announce the long-awaited results of the poetry contest. Below is a publication of the winning entries. Enjoy the best of the sports musings of St. Louis' finset poetic minds.
A haiku on the Blues' latest retread goalie situation:
Manny Legace?
What? Was Vincent Reindeau
Unavailable?
A limerick about a trip to Busch stadium from the view in the center field bleachers:
A baseball is hit down the line
In the air, oh my, it looks fine
I look up for the ball
As it approaches the wall
I'm blind from the neon Hardee's sign
A second limerick from a devoted Rams fan with some fantasy sports thoughts:
I wish I was a believer!
Even if you're an overacheiver.
On fantasy draft day,
Kevin Curtis slips away,
I just can't draft a white wide receiver.
Another great haiku, this one about a local big league player for the Phillies who is having an amazing season:
Hey, Ryan Howard,
Thanks for reminding the Cards
How badly they draft
This one is a free verse rhyme about an after-game party with a women's rugby team:
I was acting smoothe as could be,
But these chicks had no interest in me.
I talked to one particular hottie,
Who had a total knockout body.
"You're not my type," she said with a frown,
And I turned away, having been shot down.
As I walked off, she shouted, 'Hey, mister"
And asked me if I had a sister.
