Gameday

Everyone has been waiting
to play this special game
waiting to play ball
the first hitter grabs a bat
and tries to help his team
both teams trying desperately to win.

The team without a win
has been patiently waiting
to play as a team.
A very important game
both teams trying to put thebat
to the ball

The pitcher grips the ball
leading his team to a win
keeping his pitches away from the bat
the hitter is waiting
to get the first hit of the game
and give the lead to his team

A struggle for each team
neither is hitting the ball
a very defensive game
the best pitcher will win
but the power hitter is waiting
for his opportunity at bat

He now gets his chance to bat
scaring the opposing team
his teammates are waiting
for him to smash the ball
and give them the win
in the hard fought game

The entire game
comes down to one at bat
both teams hungry for the win
the victory can only go to one team
the pitcher delivers the ball
as the hitter is patiently waiting

The win goes to the better team
as the game is decided by one hitter's bat
launching the ball with his fans and teammates waiting.

Historenga

Revolution

A time of changing ideas
and many angry people
the time of the the French Revolution
Riots in the streets
and attacks against the government
in areas all around France
a time that changed the world
and the Reign of Terror
led by Robespierre
influenced the entire nation.

Acrostic Poem

Challenge

Changing difficulty getting
Harder as you go along
And testing your patience
Large amounts of difficulty
Linger as you continue
Even when you think you're perfect
Nothing worth doing is easy
Getting through a challenge makes you better
Ending up where you need to.
