Baseball Poetry

Dedicated to the writing of those invited to participate in a baseball poetry project. Those invited were asked to 1) go to a baseball game, any game and 2) create a poem, in any shape or form about that particular game or some memory of baseball, for the purpose of developing a collection. Most baseball poetry collections are ones culled from the works of famous poets; this one is designed to be more democratic, inviting some established poets and others moved to write baseball poems.

Fans Forever/ We've Moved


Fans Forever
Roseanne Krubsack

A wall in Chicago now stands

For the ashes of many Cub’s fans

And while they still wait

It’s not by the plate

But with the celestial bands


We've Moved
Roseanne Krubsack

From Wrigley field to Chicago’s Bohemian National Cemetery

From the stands to the red brick wall

From seats to blue and white urns

***

The venue has changed

But the goal remains the same.
