    Life of a Hockey Puck

    Gliding across the shining surface of the arena,
    I realize my importance in life is great.

    I am the most popular person in sight,
    it has to be true, everyone is after me.

    I decide the winner of the game,
    and sometimes provide a moment of happiness for the loser.

    When others have to sit on the bench to regain their strength,
    I am able to continue playing in the game without breaking a sweat.

    While the cameras sometimes show others,
    They are always trying to focus on me.

    During halftime, everyone else has to go to a meeting,
    while I get to lounge and wrap up in a blanket, and relax.

    I am the life of the game,
    and everyone wants to be around me.

    I am a hockey puck.  There is no greater game.

    I like this....I thought it was cute, wonderful to be your first. Anyhow, if I could suggest something, maybe just title it "The Life" and your last line will be much stronger:) Keep on writing:)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I can see how that would have made the ending really pop. I will have to keep that in mind for future poems.

    You definitely captured the life of the puck... Sounds really great. I think the only thing better would be Lord Stanley's Cup.

    This poem is Great! I wish I had the talent that you do. What a great life it would be to be a hockey puck!

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
