Subject - Sport

Sports is not a common theme in poetry, especially poems that are not from our modern age as we find here at Poets' Corner. But there are a few to be found here. My favorite is The Angler by Thomas Buchanan Reed.

Baseball's Sad Lexicon by Franklin P. Adams
a lament about a magnificent play... by the other team
A Ballad of Baseball Burdens by Franklin P. Adams
The Angler's Ballad by Charles Cotton
'MOST ANGLERS ARE VERY HUMANE'--Daily Paper by Norman Rowland Gale
Cricket on the Hearth by Norman Rowland Gale
Golf Steals Our Youth by Norman Rowland Gale
To an Athlete Dying Young by A. E. Housman
we cheer our heroes in life and in death
The Angler by Thomas Buchanan Reed
The angler in his basket lays
The constellation, and goes his ways.
Hunter's Song by Sir Walter Scott
Hunting-Song by William Somerville
The Hunt by Harrient Prescott Spofford
Casey at the Bat by Ernest L. Thayer
the big game depends on Casey
When Tulips Bloom by Henry Van Dyke
despite the title, a poem about fishing
The Angler's Song by Izaak Walton
in praise of fishing
Missed by P. G. Wodehouse
a rare poem about the sport of Cricket, and a reason to take up golf

Life's void of all pleasure and laughter;
I bungled the easiest catch.
