Even for those of us who watch no other game all year, the festive nature of the Super Bowl draws us in. Food, fun, and lots of cheering and moaning as the game progresses. It's all about enjoying it together.
You've caught the spirit of the game in your verse. Excellent end rhymes in your mono-rhymed quatrains. Thanks for sharing.

What a fun poem! You almost got the ending of the actual game correct in your final two lines. Were you writing this as you were watching the game? I like the way you worked in the various positions and plays of the game. Well done! Carol

    LOL, I wrote this in the middle of the night before Sunday so it could be here all day. OMGosh, thank you so much for this absolutely lovely review and fun comments. And of course the big six star points before the extra point. haha!

    You made my day with this wonderful review. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love the fact that I have another football friend. I guess you might say we SCORED BIG because we were already friends, but another fun thing to connect.

    But nothing as great as our being sisters in Christ.. thanks again! Debi
    I hope your husband is doing as well as expected!

Did you watch the Super Bowl? Your poem brings up many main facts about this sport. The Chiefs are winners again. I do think that Taylor Swift adds a lot of glamour to the sport of football. She is quite a lady! Young girls look up to her.

    Hi Rosemary, yep, they did it two years in a row. I didn't watch the whole thing. I fell asleep. Haha!

I'm Aussie, so I have no knowledge of your game. Nonetheless it is however a great spectacle. One of the great features of your game is the number of breaks included. In Australia we footie supporters often utilise these breaks by having a drink. With so many breaks, I'd be smashed after fifteen minutes.
Hope you enjoyed the game.

Thanks for commemorating the day. But I'm sorry I am absolutely clueless about football. All I see is a bunch of guys "with mass" as you say. The huddle together and then go into formation, and then they pile on top of each other. It's a very strange game. Occasionally, a weird shaped ball gets tossed and the guy who catches it is "IT" and they all pile on him. That's all I saw so I don't watch it! Besides I was having too much fun with my grandson.

    Hahahaha, the part about the mass was all Sally's fault. I promise LOL.
    I had kick some grass, and Sally said, just say it how it is. Use the right word.
    And what did I do? I listened.

    Hey Sweetie, I grew up with football, learned how to be a boy by six, outside playing with my brothers, catching frogs, snakes and playing football, so did I watch the game?

    Nope, I in my room and went to bed early. Wasn't feeling the best. So I have been real careful about sleep lately. Actually I am doing all good things for myself. Still staying away from salt, sugar and if they ever get me in for that scan I will know more what is next.

    Anyway, I was going to email you, but I have to say thank you for the lovely Valentine card. I appreciate it so much. I am horrible at phone calls and snail mail.

    But I did have something else in mind for you. (Smile)
    Thanks again, Sis! Love ya, Debi

    Aww! And I'm no good at phone calls, too, so don't worry. Besides I call my mom twice a day and so I max out on calls quickly. Lol. But there are friends who prefer calls. Appreciate you! Thanks for letting me know it came. 💖💖🎵

Hi Debi, my entire family have always been
big football fans...for years we had a pool
of 9 family members...$3.00 dollars a week...
we all received pages at the beginning with every
team that played...we chose the teams we thought
would win that week...when all the games were played...
the one with the most wins collected the $27.00...
it wasn't so much the money...but it was fun to win it...
it was great to have the family staying close together...
and one always telling the other...they just got lucky...

I love your description of the Super Bowl football game...
it made me laugh...but you nailed it...to think some people
pay thousands of dollars to go see it my sweet friend...

I love your poem beautiful you...and your picture says it all...
very well written...love much...Linda xxoo

    LOL, QC, I ask as a special favor for you to please read my poem again, as I made a few changes to make it more evident that the tailgating was for fans, not players. I had the word fan in there before and another guy said it was obvious.

    I think I made the rest sound much better, but sorry, I couldn't do enough stanzas to put special teams in there so they were skipped for my Super Bowl. LOL...
    Besides that part, would you please tell me if you think it reads better now, per your comments. Which I do appreciate very much. It's hard to be objective when you look at it for so long. And as much as I love football, writing and 8 syllable poem, putting the info in it with rhyme and meter can be difficult. However I appreciate it so very much. Thanks again. Debi

This was one of the best super bowls I have watched in years. AND my team won. AND I won $200 on my bowl pot. All in all a great evening and your poem correctly sets the stage for all the actors! Good post. ann

    Ann, how awesome that you won, and your team too. Y'know Terry always said that you and I have so much more in common than we knew.

    So you just named one. As a child I had to learn the game because of being raised with three brothers. Tackle football at six, catching frogs and snakes.

    To this day, I am the only one in my family who will pick up a snake. I bet there is our difference. LOL..

    I don't do it often, but just when the grandkids see them and get scared. Even my husband is petrified. Anyway my point was I love football!

    Thanks for the kind comments too, my awesome friend.

Hi Debi.
This is a good poetic description off the emotions and actions of the teams a the fans during the Super Bowl.
I like the triple rhyme between the first and second lines of each stanza.
Hop your chosen team won.
Keep writing and stay heathy.
Have a great rest of the day.
Joan
