Dejuan Belnavis, What Is Football

What Is Football by Dejuan Belnavis

This is an ode to the football field . The smell is fresh air and sweat . The ground is hard and either real or just astroturf . This is an ode to football, the screaming and cheering for both teams . The wind blowing in my face when I’m going full speed and I’m sweating . This is an ode to the football field, the friends I had to play with Leroy, Josiah, Brandon, Miah, and liam . The team I played with to win every game . This is an ode to the football field, the red painted benches who had paint chips on it . The moms that shout the lungs out when their baby boy is about to win a game . The colored uniforms we wore before the game . This is an ode to the football field . What I learned from football is even when you play alone it is cool . When you play as a team you will go even further .
