Lacrosse
Symmetrical forms
Poised to explode like lightning
For now it’s quiet
Silence broken down
Clawing at each other’s sticks
Possession is won
Thundering down the pitch
Faking right and juking left
The dance has begun
Probing the defense
Moving now towards the cage
Defenses failing
Unseen guardians
Send precise pokes towards him
Contact, the ball’s down
Scrambling for the ball
Trapped in place by the keep
And zipped down the field
Acrobatic jump
Keeps the ball in bounds to play
And is moved once more
Open field ahead
Monstrous men ready to guard
And to crush the weak
Opportunity
An open shot on the cage
No hesitation
The ball hits the mesh
The crowd roars with emotion
And the game plays on

I play a lot of lacrosse, and i thought that haikus would be able to convey the quick and powerful action in the game the best.
