Catherine Johnson, 2013

I tried to get this to sound fast like hockey. Fancy writing a really speedy poem?

I felt it! I was on the ice. The only thing missing for me was the way breathing heavy feels like on the ice. You are warm and cold all at the same time. Maybe
Racing thrill
Breathe out chill

      I should clarify, “of course I don’t mind” (not “of course you may not”)

We’ve been watching hockey all weekend – hurray!

Lots of fights though – not my favorite part but I guess there is lots of pent up NHL frustration!

  I really don’t like that about hockey. Look at the big guys in rugby and the tiny refs and hardly anything ever happens. I’m yet to love watching adult hockey I miss doccer and rugby (so English )
