This poem was written following one of Julie Stevens' poetry workshops, where we were presented with "The Catch - Simon Armitage" I related his poem to a football memory of mine many years ago. Below is my attempt to write something in the same structure.
Forget
Being average, at best
Week after week
Game after game
Then one sublime day
Proof that every dog has one
Everything works
Everything comes together
An opponent
A revered exponent of playing upfront
Likens me
To the legend that is
Marco van Basten
