Poetry! In MOTION!
Hey nerds! Guess what I did this weekend? I played BASKETBALL which is a sport! Also, I watched SOCCER which is also a sport! Also I watched GOLF which may or may not be a sport! but it probably is a sport!
Which got me thinkin about WASHINGTON WIZARDS POWERFORWARDS! Mostly Oleksiy Pecherov but also Etan Thomas! He has a book of poetry called ‘More Than an Athlete‘ which I can totally relate to because while I am a WRITER I am MORE Than a Writer! I am also a man who can make an occasional lay-up (that is when you shoot the basketball from very close range off of the backboard and it goes through the hoop and then you get a high five!) and an occasional grilled cheese sandwich!
Other favorite books of poetry by athletes:
Mike Tyson – Heartsongs
Charles Barkley – Every Angel is Turrible
Tiger Woods – Dare Thy Fearful Symmetry: Poems About Augusta
Darryl Strawberry – Strawberries in Heaven: Translations from Grzegorz Musial
Nice work gentlemen! If only Lauren Conrad could hoop it up; she’d be the ultimate TRIPLE THREAT!

Phil Rizzuto’s “O Holy Cow!” is really good.

Allen Iverson should have a book of poetry. Also, Ray Lewis. Can you imagine?!
Did you guys know that Dwayne Wade said his favorite book is Pride & Prejudice? And not the one with zombies.
It was on an NBA Reads poster we have at Powell’s.

im surprised tiki barber hasnt written a book of poetry. He’s stupid intelligent.
My played for the Saints (kentucky hall of famer, too), but hasnt published his poetry. When Katrina hit he lost all his proofs, so now he has to start from scratch. I think this really eats him up inside.

It’s easy to sum it up if you’re just
talking about practice.
I’m supposed to be the franchise player and we’re
talking about practice.
I mean listen, we’re sitting here
talking about practice,
not a game
not a game
not
a game but we’re
talking about practice.
Not the game that I go
out there and die for
and play
every game
like it’s my last but we’re
talking about practice
man
How silly is that?
damn my goofy poetic indentations got lost
