The game of basketball is so much fun!
Whether it’s a dunk, three, or just a steal,
No other game can compare with this one.
When I think of it, I can only squeal.
Even when I see the game on TV,
It’s amazing because they are so good.
It looks so easy, when they nail a three.
If I could do that, I totally would.
Even when it is me who scores the hoop,
It pumps me up and makes me feel so great.
I love it when the crowd yells whoop, whoop, whoop!
For the next game, I really cannot wait.
Even though it is only just a game,
I know it is able to lead to fame.

I have been playing basketball for my whole life. It is my favorite sport. This is why I chose to write a poem about this sport. Just as I enjoy playing this great sport, I also enjoy writing about it.
