Pressure in the Pocket MAG
The pocket is collapsing
But no need to rush,
The fans are going crazy
And I wish they would hush.
The first option is to scramble
The second is to throw.
I think I’m going to run it,
Never mind, I’m too slow.
There is no one in the flats
And the tight end is gone,
But thank God there’s a receiver
Wide open in the end zone.

This was well constructed, I just felt it was a little one dimensional. It didn't jump out at me, but obviously, people like it, so they see something I don't. Good job :)

It kind of sounds to me, like something some one in my english class would write for an assigned poem project.
Maybe because I'm just not a sport fan, that it didn't touch me on any particular level.
But if sports is a subject you feel the inspiration to write about and passion for....
Keep it up.
It's a good look into the mind of spiratic decision making, which is always very necissary in sports.

Life is like music - You can make mistakes so you try again. But when the piece can't be helped you try again another time.
