Football Career Mirror

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Successful trial, dreams realised.
Through the ranks, honing, improving:
Into the first team, grooving.
Extended spell develops game, first name on the team-sheet.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Career peak: cups and medals, captaincy and caps, even bag-a-gong

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Injuries bring extended absence, no longer part of team-plans.
Never really the same, waning.
Down the leagues, slowing, declining:
Retirement announced, ambitions achieved.

Notes

Another footie folding mirror documenting how a career and rise and fall either side of a peak. I had a trial, but unfortunately it wasn’t successful, so this is me remembering how I envisioned my career; well, up to the peak anyway!

If you have any folding mirror poems and want to submit them for a folding mirror book I have planned please see details at my website: www.greenygrey.co.uk
