Hello Treischel. I remember you from a while back lol. I've never seen this kind of write before but I like it. I love football. Used to play women's league full impact football for Dallas back in my 20's lol a fullback. Great write and a new one for me which is awesome! xoxo Kiwi

Because my membership has ran out I am no longer a Premier Author, meaning I am not able to administer six stars to you when worth. Financial upgrade is not an option for me right now so I am considering my options. I tell you this as not to keep apologising with virtual sixes written atop your work or non participation in contests or voting. I will not post work for now nor vote, but know I will continue to read certain works and review sparsely until time, so please forgive me of my fan base for lack of attention at this time. I will continue to read most works. My apologies if any review during this time not full. Best Wishes. RG

Hello my friend. Good to see something from you. I never understand how this form is managed. I always say you are the master of forms, but now this dimensional poem beats me.

Nicely done.
Best wishes.
RG

Treischel: great football message. Are you excited for the
Minneapolis superbowl? Are you going to zipline down over
the river or tailgate? I've been walking dogs in this cold weather.
Have you jumped into the river yet??? People are ice fishing here
on the DesMoines River. Hope our team wins. Enjoy the game.

Thank you Nancy. I am very excited about our team, and having the Super Bowl here. Can't afford $3,000 per seat, so will be watching from home. Haven't done the solar plunge . Zip line is a maybe.

Tom,

HAHAHA! Super, super job! I just call all these types of poems 'concrete poems', though that may be incorrect? It's what I was taught. But this, I must say, is so clever and smart!! I truly enjoyed -- as my hubby and I sit here watching Atlanta Falcons and the Los Angeles Rams. hahahaha!! Thanks!

Thank Robin. They are definitely a type of concrete poem, but a bit more complex. I was rooting for the Rams, but they lost.

You are so creative--thank you for combining your love for sports and poetry and sharing another appealing Calligram. Here's to "flair" in both arenas! Cheers- Joan

Thank you Joan. I was rooting for the Rams and KC today. Both lost. Since we beat the Saints and lost to the Panthers, you can guess who I'll be for tomorrow.

reply by Joan E. on 07-Jan-2018

My sympathies--my husband just finished watching the Rams lose, and we live in a suburb of Los Angeles! Sighs- Joan

Well done and a good. necessary picture to go with the poem. This took some keen thinking and a lot of work. I enjoyed it.

A very well-written Calligram poem about the football games that often ends with a last minute score by the winners. You did a great Calligram with great creativity.

Again Tom you have created a great simple calligram poem. I hope what ever teams you are rooting for win today and tomorrow. I do not watch TV at all. I have a hard time viewing the picture, so it saves me the cost of cable. Patricia

If I hang around this site long enough I might even manage to learn all the rules of this game that to a foreigner like me is totally bewildering. I like the calligram but of course with those shapes I will be thinking of rugby football, which is similar but without the body armour.

Thank you Pantygynt. Yes, now rugby is a real mans game. I loved watching it in the Olympics.
