My cricket award
By Thomas C
Published 5 September 2017
Held in my hand with glory
ball to ball the knocking of stumps
the sound of the ball on Kashmir willow wood
the yelling in the searing heat on a hot
summer's day
the umpire awards the wicket and the team jumps with joy
on my mantel piece it sits I stare at it with pride
Shining and gleaming it's my miracle cricket award.
