Here's the Kicker!
We are very proud of our America SCORES NY poet-athletes and their hard work both on the field and in the classroom this year. This year’s America SCORES Kicker! magazine, an annual publication of selected poetry from poet-athletes across the country, includes two original poems from our NY students, including one by Cammyla V, and another by Maria R. You can access the latest issue of Kicker! online HERE, and we’ve re-printed Maria and Cammyla’s poetry below. Great work, girls!
We Have Our Moments by Maria R., 11
We laugh and play and have fun everyday
We joke and have luck but sometimes we don’t get along
You know I love you I will never let you go
I get mad at you but I can’t hold my anger for too long
Because whenever I do I feel like I did you wrong
Because remember this, if we are a million miles away
I still feel like I’m with you
Everyday a piece of you stays in my heart,
Never forget me, I’m begging you please
If you ever need me I will be there
In a breeze
I Love Soccer by Cammyla V., 9
I love to play soccer
No one will ever be a mocker
To this amazing sport
I hope the games will never be short.
When you score a goal
It feels like you own gold
And when you win the game
And everyone hollers your name
It feels like you accomplish your mission
And you’ll really be wishin
That the next game comes soon
Even if you have to go to the moon.
